Larochette — Kordall Steelers: 99:64, Total League

Larochette secured a comprehensive 99 to 64 win over Cordale Steelers in the Total League on Friday evening. The hosts made no mistake against a side sitting eight places below them in the table. It was a result that reflected the gap between two teams with very different trajectories this season.

Three wins from five in recent outings had the home side building momentum. They beat T71 Dudelange 89 to 59 last weekend before a heavy defeat by Ettelbruck. Meanwhile Cordale Steelers lost 81 to 109 at Ettelbruck on the same day, adding to a pattern of struggling away from home this campaign.

Our prediction called for a home victory with sixty per cent confidence, and that proved accurate. The result was never in doubt from the opening stages, with Larochette controlling the tempo throughout. There is no value left at that number when a side like this takes the field.

The standings tell the story plainly. Larochette sit third with eighteen wins from twenty-two games, while Cordale Steelers have managed only nine victories and lost thirteen. That difference in consistency showed clearly on the scoreboard.

The victory keeps the hosts firmly in contention for a higher finish. Eight points separate them from the leaders still, and this result puts them in a stronger position to close that gap. The game was put to bed early, and the crowd roared them on throughout.
