Veterans, led by captain and well-known basketball manager Miodrag Misko Raznatovic and well-known Serbian international Marko Keselj, have played “experiential” as expected and eventually came to a triumph even though the result was in the second plan. Accordingly, judges have “not seen” the gradual increase in the number of pioneers of Mega in the field, where coach Stefan Bulatovic in the finish sent all players to the court, in order to disrupt the veteran’s attack.

The veterans also celebrated the match last year, so now the overall result is now  2:0 in favor of veteran KK Banjica.
