The basketball players of Den Helder have defeated Landslake Lions 81-70. A major blemish on the match was an apparently serious injury to Lions player Tanya Bröring in the third quarter. “A fierce evening. We are all shocked by this”, said an emotional Lions trainer Marlous Nieuwveen afterwards.
Landslake Lions took a small lead in the first quarter: 17-16. That was due to a two-pointer from Tanya Bröring in the last ten seconds. In the second quarter Den Helder ran out by a large margin: 30-40. Den Helder player Kiki Fleuren played an important role with two essential three-pointers in the last minute.

In the third quarter, Den Helder’s margin dwindled to 49-57. There was a nasty moment for Bröring who had to leave, with an apparently serious knee injury. In the final phase it was still exciting and Lions fought back to 59-63, but Den Helder eventually pulled the longest end: 70-81. “The win does not affect Tanya Bröring’s injury. This is not good”, was the comment of Den Helder trainer Mario Bennes.
