One match remaining till the end of 2011/12 RRC pool phase

With just one match remaining all quarterfinalists are already known. Nada, Bulldogok, Zagreb, Ljubljana, Donau, Pobednik, Vitezek and Čelik secured their place in the first round of playoffs scheduled for March 2012.
Last match between RK Zagreb and RC Donau Wien (3.12.2011 – Rudeš, Sošička bb, Zagreb) will decide ranking and pairs for quarterfinals. With up to five points available for each team this match will have big impact on rankings at the end of pool phase. Briefly, Zagreb can be ranked from 1st to 6th place and Donau form 2nd to 8th place depending on the match outcome. This is definitely the match to watch and follow.

Milan Orlović from RK Pobednik Mozzart Beograd is at the moment leading scorer with 30 points and Beke from KARC is holding second place with 29 points by keeping pace of scoring points in every game he played. With just player from RK Zagreb and RC Donau havin one more game and being able to overtake first place on the Top Scorers list at the end of the 2011-12 RRC pool phase we have to keep an eye on Jureško and Mijić from RK Zagreb and Lassy from RC Donau Wien.

Only a couple of exciting matches in the pool phase of 2011-12 RRC season remained. Every remaining match is to decide on which clubs continue to compete in the RRC playoffs scheduled for March and May of 2012.

In Zenica, RK Rudar and Battai Bulldogok RC will decide in “mutual collision”, the club that will be runner-up in the Pool A, where RK Nada already secured first place. Runner up in the Pool A will be safe in quarterfinals, but for 3rd placed team this will most likely be the end of this season.

City of Zagreb on this Saturday will see double program and a decisive match between RK Zagreb and RC Donau at the end of next week.
This Saturday on Rudeš pitch, RK Zagreb will seek to provide a chance to fight for first place in the Pool B against Donau next week and deny extension of quarterfinal hopes for KARC. By winning this game KARC are likely to secure a spot in the quarterfinals.
At the same time, near the Sava river, Esztergomi Vitezek will look for a bonus point in the match against HARK Mladost to secure first place in the Pool C and privileged place in RRC playoffs.
