7 rounds left before the end of the regular championship of Superleague. However, an outsider is already distinguished. The main candidate is Rustavi, which lost against Delta 62:73 in their own court full of their fans. They now have 2-points less than Batumi and are on the last place of the standings.
Let us remind you that the team which will take the last place in the Superleague will play in A-League next season. The team on the 9th place will fight against the finalist of A-League. Rustavians changed a head coach after the first round, however, Georgios Ketselidis, who’s now instead of Ramaz Gogoberishvili, couldn’t succeed either.
Delta’s advantage was obvious in today’s match. Rustavi already had problems with strong Georgian players and they lacked Levan Tsekvava today due to injury. Legionnaires are the leading strength of this team, but they can’t resist their rival teams as much to gain victory. As for Delta, their strength is right in Georgian players. National team member-candidates – Beqa Beqauri, Oto Pkhakadze and Gegi Baqradze played very well with their teammates. They gained the leadership from the very beginning and didn’t give up it until the end. Rustavians attempts to change the situation was in vain.
Eventually, the match ended up with Deltas victory by 11 points. It was Delta’s 7th victory after 11 rounds. 12th round of the Superleague will be held in Batumi and Tbilisi on March 8-9.
