The first Bokele derby of the season did not bring any surprises, although Primorac led for a long time, until the end of the third quarter, in the duel against Jadran.
In the end, Novljan won 9:5 and registered their third triumph in the Regional League this season, after defeating Medvešćak and Crvena zvezda.
Primorac led with 4:2 at the beginning of the third part, and then Jadran broke the hosts with a 5:0 series created by Aleksa Ukropina and Dragan Drašković and made sure that the ancient city left in triumph.
"Excellent defenses by the goalkeeper of Primorac prevented us from gaining an early advantage, but in the end our quality came to the fore. Primorac showed that it works well, but we are better at this moment," said Jadran coach Vladimir Gojković.
In the last eight minutes, Kotor reduced the score to minus two (7:5), but that was all...
"We gave as much as we could. Jadran is much better, but we will still show our true form in this team. We still need to work," said the coach of Primorje, Miodrag Mirović.
Budva achieved its second victory in the regional competition this season.
After defeating Jadran in Split, Budva justified their role as favorites in Slovenia - they beat Branik in Maribor with a score of 16:8.
