ŽKK Cinkarna Celje maintained their flawless start to the 1. SKL women's season with a 91-50 victory over Domžale on Saturday afternoon. The result keeps the hosts unbeaten after twenty matches, while Domžale's record slips further into difficulty at three wins from twenty games. The match took place on 10 October 2026 at the home arena.
Celje controlled the contest from the opening tip-off, building an insurmountable lead through consistent execution. The final tally of 91 points to 50 reflected a game that never really went anywhere near competitive. Domžale struggled to find any rhythm against a Celje side that had already established dominance in the first quarter.
The visitors had lost their previous meeting with Celje 46-94 in February, a result that perhaps foreshadowed this evening's outcome. Domžale's recent form has been inconsistent at best, with losses to ŽKD Jezica and Maribor among their defeats this season. They found little to work with against the league leaders.
Statistics tell the story without embellishment. Celje shot with precision while Domžale could not convert their limited opportunities. The home side's defensive organisation forced turnovers that fed their fast break, while the visitors struggled to penetrate the paint. Possession and shot quality favoured Celje at every stage.
The table now shows Celje sitting alone at the summit with 20 points from 20 games, not that the points system matters with only wins and losses recorded. Domžale remain sixth, nine points behind fifth-placed Triglav and well adrift of the top four. The gap between the summit and the middle of the table has widened considerably.
Celje's perfect record speaks for itself — twenty wins from twenty games, no draws, no defeats. Domžale's three victories this season have come against weaker opposition, and this result confirms they are not yet ready to challenge the established hierarchy. The league has found its pattern already.
