Singalese Sports Club claimed a narrow 140-136 victory over Baduria in the Major Clubs tournament with limited overages on Tuesday evening. The result keeps the hosts in second place while the visitors remain rooted at the bottom of the table.
Singalese came into the fixture sitting in second with nine points from five matches, carrying just one defeat through their campaign. They had shown resilience in recent outings, including a marathon 253-250 encounter with Colts on 10 August.
Baduria's situation could hardly be more different. Six games played, six defeats, zero points — they have yet to find a winning formula this season. Their recent run includes a narrow 132-131 loss to Berger and a 167-168 defeat to Bloomfield.
And here's the thing about this scoreline — it wasn't as straightforward as it looked. High-scoring affairs like this often turn on small margins, and tonight the hosts held their nerve when it mattered most.
The result extends Singalese's advantage at the top of the table while leaving Baduria still searching for their first point. By then, the gap between these two sides will only feel wider.
