The past sports weekend was unsuccessful for our handball clubs.

In the tenth round of the Super B League, both of our representatives, Crvenka and Sivač 69, were playing away and returned from those matches defeated. Crvenka’s handball team played the round’s derby away in Ub, where they lost 31:30 to the hosts. The defeat hurts because the “squirrels” played excellently for most of the match, winning the first half 18:11. They had a seven-goal lead in the 47 minute, when the score was 27:20, and led 30:27 in the 56 minute. The hosts then took advantage of Crvenka’s errors in attack and won with a run of 4:0. First, Delibašić was called for a charge in attack, then the home goalkeeper stopped Bošković’s shot, and Tasić shot over the goal. Each of those mistakes was punished with a goal by the hosts. Crvenka had 25 seconds to attack and possibly equalize, but Tasić made a mistake, and the hosts celebrated. Crvenka’s top scorers were Čabrilo and Bošković, with 8 goals each. Crvenka are currently third in the table with 13 points, and host Apatin in the final round of the autumn season.

Sivac 69 played away in Vrbas, where they were defeated by the hosts, Vrbas Petrol, by 31:23, with the halftime score 16:12. The match was evenly balanced during the first ten minutes or so, as confirmed by the score of 4:4 in the tenth minute. The home team then went on a run of 4:0, and the people of Vrbas managed to preserve their four-goal lead until halftime. In the second half, the Vrbas handball players opened with a run of 3:0, built a seven-goal lead, and then comfortably maintained it until the final victory.

-We failed to find a solution in attack against the home team’s aggressive defense, and made a lot of technical errors that allowed Vrbas to score “easy” goals. That is why we lost in Vrbas, says Branko Žeželj, coach of the Sivac handball team.

Sivac’s captain Beslać was the team’s top scorer, with 7 goals. Sivac’s handball team remains at the bottom of the table with 4 points, and in the final autumn round they will host Spartak from Subotica in front of their fans.

Both of our women's handball teams lost in the final round of the autumn half of the First League season. The Krule Women's Handball Club from Sivac lost 30:29 to Sloven from Ruma while playing away in Hrtkovci. Sloven's handball players controlled the match and led throughout, with a 25:17 lead in the 41 minute. But the women from Sivac did not give up: in the 52 minute, they came within one goal, making the score 26:25 in Sloven's favor. Ruma then won in a goal-for-goal battle. Krule's top scorer was Jadranka Bikićki, with 9 goals. Crvenka's Laki also lost to league leaders Ruma in Hrtkovci, 31:20, with the halftime score 16:9. The difference in quality was clear, and the favorites lived up to their status. For Laki, Marija Ivić, Anželi Lovre, and Tara Dokić each scored six goals. Krule finished the autumn half of the season in sixth place, and Laki in seventh, with 4 points each.

In round nine of the First Regional League of Serbia, North Group, Hajduk's basketball players beat Podrinje from Mačvanska Mitrovica 81:65 in the round's top match, with the score at halftime 39:27 in favor of Predrag Nogavica's team. By the middle of the first quarter, Hajduk had built a double-digit lead, going ahead 13:3, and then, despite occasional swings in form, earned a well-deserved and valuable win. It was valuable because they moved into sole possession of first place with a record of six wins and two losses. Hajduk's center Aleksa Tešović was the team's top scorer with 26 points, while Neđeljko Bogdanović also scored in double figures with 11 points.

In the next round, Hajduk’s basketball team will visit I Came to Play in Novi Sad.

In the 7 round of the North group of the First Vojvodina League, Hajduk’s women’s volleyball team defeated “Goks In” from Odžaci 3:0 away in Sombor. The women from Kula dominated: they won the first set 25:18, the second 25:19, and were even more convincing in the third, winning it 25:7.
