After losing to Swisslion Takovo in their previous home game in Eurohold Balkan League, today Feni Industries got back on winning track as they beat bulgarian Euroins Cherno More at home 87-74. The win put macedonian side on top in Group A of this year competition with record of 3-1 while Euroins Cherno More are third on the table with 2 wins from 4 games. The biggest favorite for the first place – serbian team Swisslion Takovo play tomorrow at home versus Radnicki 034 Group and will have a chance to move up over Feni Industries again.
 
Visitors from Bulgaria started much better and had a control of the first quarter. They held a 4 points lead after 10 minutes of play – 12-16 but that was the only one period from the game the players from Varna were better than their opponents. Quickly home team got back on top in the second quarter and despite the strong efforts by the visitors never trailed again. At the half time they had a 3 points advantage – 40-37.
 
Second half was all for the home team. They started with  mini series of 7-0 to get first double digit lead in the game – 47-37. However Euroins Cherno More never didn’t give up mostly thanks to great game by his point guard Corey McIntosh. He scored season high 34 points and after this round of play still leads the league in scoring with 29.8 points per contest.
 
Atila Santos finished with double double – 13 points and 12 rebounds but those two players were the only ones who scored in double figures. Youngster Nikolay Kolev came off the bench and managed 9 points and 9 rebounds.
 
During the second half Feni Industries had too many players that stepped up. In the middle of the last quarter they put the game out of reach with unbelivable shooting from outside by Milan Prekovic and very good inside moves by Donald Cole. Prekovic scored 5 times behind the arc as some of his shots were from very long distance. He ended with 25 points, his season high in Eurohold Balkan league and added 3 rebounds and 3 steals for 32 minutes on the court.
 
Cole had 22 points and 6 rebounds for the winning team. Other player from Feni Industries who is familiar with bulgarians – Gjorgi Cekovski scored 10 points and grabbed 6 rebounds. Just a reminder he spent few years playing for bulgarian champion Lukoil Academic.
 
Feni Industries face Radnicki 034 Group in the next round of Eurohold BIBL and win in that game will gave them place among quarterfinalists in the competition. Game in Kavadarci was the last one for Euroins Cherno More in 2008 and will travel on January 21 2009 to Kragujevac to meet the same team – Radnicki 034 Group.
