The last decisions of the Nationale 2 regular season have been found this weekend as the 6 teams qualified for the Playoffs are known.
With a clear victory in Mondorf, the Hedgehogs Bascharage underlined their excellent season with a 6th place that was not really something that the observers thought of last summer. But the team of coach Ostojic had a great duo in John Holmes and the assimilated Ivan Tomas that most of the team could not stop. Tomas showed in Mondorf that he can not only score but also defend as he held Yves Braun to only 15 points in this decisive game. The victory of Grengewald against Racing shows the current downwards trend of the team from the capital that plays without an US player right now. Black Star Mersch found its way back to success after their disaster in Contern by beating BC Mess in Mondercange. Contern destroyed the Kordallsteelers while Kayldall earned an important win in Arlon that will lose Sean Black for the rest of the season according to our infos.
This weekend, all the games can already be considered as playoff games as the points earned now will help the teams during the final run. Contern should be able to increase its lead by winning in Kayldall. Black Star has to win against Racing at home in order to solidify their 2nd place in the ranking and remain a favorite for the promotion. The Hedgehogs will host Arlon in a game where the guys around Ivan Tomas can get another win. Mondorf will play at home against Grengwald. The locals will most likely try to win this one in order to increase the gap to the relegation spots even if it will be very difficult for Arlon to stay in the league. BC Mess has to win against Kordall on the road.
