Strong Start Leads to Victory for Haneffe in AWBB Cup

Because the start of the match was positive, Royen scoring the first basket of the season for the Reds to mark his return to Hesbaye while Tassin had already struck three times from a distance in a particularly positive first quarter for the locals. Thus, the 8-point lead of the opposing P1 was quickly erased and the scorer slipped to 26-22 in the quarter.

With only 7 players on the sheet, the visitors were going to stop the bleeding at the start of the 2nd quarter (33-31) while Haneffe saluted Lemoine’s basket. A more complicated passage from which the locals came out with Gonda and Berger in scoring to allow them to return to the locker room tied (40-40).

Then the recovery was going to be excellent. With the Tassin-Royen duo spearheading, the locals were going to be dominant on both sides of the field. With great collective actions and a promising solidity defensively, the Templars took a 10-point lead and were no longer in difficulty, Watrin even taking charge of the mark in the final stretch to start this AWBB cup well. Definitely a great evening to start the preparation despite difficult conditions during the week. Now, on the ground, we have really seen great things with Royen and Gonda responding to what is expected of them with their arrival in Hesbaye and managers in place.

It remains to recover the last elements and move forward. On this subject, President Kabwe was clear.

“I have always said that we will operate with a group of 12. So this Thursday we should announce one or even two transfers to balance and finalize the nucleus for the season.”

QT: 26-14, 14-18 (40-40), 24-11 (64-51), 20-17.

HANEFFE : Berger 13, Royen 16, Tassin 23, Georgery 3, Ewbank 4, Gonda 16, Lemoine 2, G Watrin 7.
