XCYDE Angels just missed out on the play-offs and finished ninth in the league.

The match

The visitors dominated from the beginning and quickly took control, leading 16-6 before finishing the first quarter 26-15 ahead.

Keltern continued to pick apart the Angels and were 43-26 in front at half-time.

Tony Imreh’s side battled hard against the class of Keltern, who scored eight three-pointers in the match.

Three players top-scored for the Angels with Magaly Meynadier, Levke Brodersen and  Laken James all scoring eight points.

What it means

As Keltern finished top of the league, they will meet Halle Lions – who finished eighth – in a two legged quarter final tie.
