TEC Spirou Charleroi defended the championship title in Belgium. The
team of
Drazen Anzulovic (agency:
Agency No 10 ) did that with three straight wins against Dexia
Mons-Hainaut.

Hart Sports Mngm, college:
Rider) led the scorers tonight in Charleroi with 14 points.
Len Matela (206-C-80, agency:

while

crucial tonight as Charleroi ended it 27-14. Mons intensified defense
after the breather stopping the hosts on just 8 points, but they needed
a way more for a turn.
Jerry Johnson and his teammates finished the last ten minutes with
18-13 for the new title and big joy of their fans.
As a reminder Charleroi enterd to Semifinals as a regular season
champion. They had 26-6 record. The new/old title holder, together with
Mons, booked a place straight to the semis as the two top-ranked teams
in regular season. Charleroi was better than Antwerp with 2-1,
celebrating in the last match at home. Mons did the same, but against
Aalstar.
