Great game by the junior Siyâsa Basket Cieza

Only two matches were played by the teams of the Siyâsa Basket sports club, both on Saturday morning. The girls of the SAORÍN FEMALE CADET ADVISORY against Alhama, a rival we've already faced on two previous occasions in the first phase. The vagaries of the schedule drawn up by the federation, incomprehensible in many cases.

The Cieza players started the match with an advantage, thanks to an intense defense that prevented the Alhama players from circulating the ball. Little by little, the visiting players' physical superiority began to prevail, allowing them to take an 11-point lead at halftime (13-24).

They attempted a comeback after the break thanks to two three-pointers, but turnovers and counterattacks prevented the Cieza players from achieving a better result, leading them to lose the match 26-50. The next match will be on Saturday at 5 p.m. in Cehegín.

A difficult match a priori for the boys of JUNIOR MALE SIYASA against the undefeated leader, Wolves Molina. There was a clear physical difference, with first-year players and cadets facing second-year juniors, and significant injuries for the Cieza team. These factors, far from intimidating our team, served as an incentive to play the best match of the season.

A game of constant back-and-forth, with minimal leads for both teams and a high level of tactical accuracy. A close first half (21-25) gave way to a thrilling second. The Molina players made a strong start, taking an 8-point lead that seemed definitive. However, a spectacular final quarter by the Cieza team gave them a chance to win, but they squandered a key possession and lost 49-51. A fantastic match for the spectators, and congratulations to the entire team and their coach, Panos, for their hard work. The next match is the local derby.

Next week, it will be completed with the matches played by SAORÍN CHILDREN'S AND WOMEN'S CONSULTANCY in front of Molina, BOYS' CHILDREN'S against Estudiantes Cartagena, MALE CADET in front of Santo Angel in Cieza and Mini concentration, Saturday morning in front of Archena.
