N'oubliez pas, aujourd'hui Jeudi 13/01 20h30 à Mondercange, match de 1/4 de finale de la Coupe de Luxembourg (Hommes), contre US Heffingen.

The first game day in the year 2011 was marked by several surprising results that totally re-launched the whole Nationale 2 season. With the Red Miners dominating BC Mess, the team from Kayl shows that it does not want to go back to Nationale 3 next season. BC Mess on the other hand showed their limits by being not capable to stop John Grotberg and Arpad Buzasi who combined for more than 75% of all the Red Miners points. Even more surprising might be the home defeat of Heffingen against Grengewald. With this results, there are 5 teams packed with only 1 point of difference in the standings and every team can still reach the Play-offs. But Heffingen, with 3 defeats in a row and a 2W-5L record over the last 7 games is having major problems. BBC Nitia came out strong and managed to break the 7 games winning streak of Avanti Mondorf to totally bring the ranking close. Despite a bad start, Arantia was still in the game in the last quarter but they were not able to beat Racing at home.

This weekend will feature some highly interesting games in relation with the qualification for the Playoffs. The current leader Mondorf will host Arantia and should be able to come back with a victory after last weekend. But all the three other games are highly undecided. Racing should be able to give Heffingen a fourth defeat in a row and put the guys of Bill Paterno in big trouble to reach the Playoffs. Going to the Playdowns was certainly not the target of the former champion and there might be some changes in order to reestablish the situation. In the game between Grengewald and the Red Miners, the boys from the South play one of their last cards if they want to reach the Playoffs. However, Nick Harrington is currently in great shape and he should be able to be a huge danger inside the paint for Kayl. Bettembourg filled up their confidence with the home win over Mondorf so that they should be able to continue their current way up as BC Mess comes from a large defeat in Kayl.

The Basketball games restart already this Friday with the first official game of 2011, Arantia Larochette will host Racing Luxembourg. The team from the capital ended their 2010 well with a win over Nitia so Eric Grand will certainly consider nothing else than a win in Larochette. But the gym of Arantia is known for being some kind of trap and you never know what will happen over there. On Saturday, Mondorf will travel to Bettembourg for the return of their first victory of the season. Nitia struggles against Racing and it has to be seen how they come out of the Christmas break. Mondorf should be motivated enough to extend their 7 games winning streak. US Heffingen will see Grengewald come up to the countryside for a very important game for both teams. If Grengewald loses this one, they will most likely go to the Play-downs as they would have a 2 game deficit to the 4th spot. But Heffingen needs to win this one too if they want to remain in the race for going up to the Diekirch League.
Finally, the surprising BC Mess will play their neighbors from Kayl in a game where the Red Miners want to grab one of the last chances to avoid the Play-downs while Mess wants to confirm their second spot in the Ranking.
