South Province semifinals

A classic Finals serie will feature JS Vallee-du-Tir and Mont-Dore BC. The reigning champion JSVDT blasted Rivière-Salee while Mont-Dore showed a great level of play even without the Kilikili brother to defeat Independente. The battle should be intense for the trophy in a two-game Finals serie.

Vallee-du-Tir - Rivière-Salee: 84-33
Before facing the reigning champions, Rivière-Salee knew it would be a tough task.
"This won't be easy to make an upset against Vallee because our players are young and unexperienced" said Thierry Durand
Despite a difficult first quarter. Vallee-du-Tir easlify defeated ASRS. For Rivière-Salee, the season is not over yet and their first season is already a success.
"We wanted to qualify for the Territorial and we achieved our goal" said Lorenzo Subiranas, ASRS captain. "We know our value. This semifinal was more a test game for us, too see how great the other teams are".

Mont-Dore - SS Independente: 64-56
For Mont-Dore, the semifinal was not easy. Playing without Felix and Jean-Claude Kilikili, both injured, MDBC managed to handle Independente 64-56. Mont-Dore now hope that the Kilikili brothers will be able to play if they want to stop the Vallee-du-Tir reign over the New Caledonia basketball.
