Teams competing in the first division of R. Srpska in this season are: OKI "Maglić", OKI "Prijedor", KSO "Krajišnik", IOK "Borac", OKI "Feniks" and last season's SuperLeague team OKI "Laktaši".
Sunday morning in Prijedor dawned with a thick fog over the river Sana, but the day was more than pleasant and nice for the late October.
OKI "Feniks": OKI "Prijedor" 3:1 (25:13 , 25:16 , 22:25, 25:23) 99:77 The now familiar school hall, standard preparation and warm-up protocol, coach's briefing, the audience at seats, check the setups and the game starts.
In the first two sets we played well, we respected given guidelines, we used a lot of their flaws and have certainly got these two sets. In the next set few of our series of errors brought the host in the lead up to 8 points. We didn't stop fighting, we had compensate this big advantage, but we ease up to the very end of the set. Of course, they didn't surrender so easy. In the fourth set we hadn't so many oscillations, but one could feel a remorse for the missed inside the tem. This set was tied and, thankfully, ended up in our benefit and liberate us of a new fifth set trauma.
OKI "Feniks" : OKI "Maglić" 3:0 (25:0, 25:0, 25:0) We played this match much safer, although the opponent has not provided any significant resistance, and by the way, had a lack of motive to do so. Differences by sets were about seven to ten points, but it was registered by the official result. The same happened to them in the game versus the host team. This is caused by incomplete team of "Maglić", namely "by the incorrect registration of one of the six players". That detail is not entirely clear to me, because on the day before they played regular championship match versus Krajišnik.
I am using the right to use copy-paste technique ( http://www.okifeniks.in.rs/en/news_20130512.htm ): "In terms of refereeing impartiality and consistency of criteria the refereeing was fair. What you might not mind was the relatively low criterion of flap from the floor and "dirty" balls, but when the previous is satisfied, then this objection is significant mainly for the eventual refereeing controller." There's nothing more to say ... except that this time Đera was busy watching some football match, so he did not show up. Summary: in the first apperience in matches of the First league of R. Srpska, Feniks recorded two wins against teams from the Prijedor and Foča. The next we expect games in Kikinda against two teams from Banja Luka. The last halfseason's game against Laktaši will be played during their tournament in early December.
