Amicale Steesel C edged Avanti Mondorf B 68-61 in Steinsel, a close game decided by a dominant final quarter. After a balanced first half (18-16, 17-17), Mondorf exploded in the third with a 13-23 stretch, powered by perimeter shooting: five 3-pointers in the period from Jeffrey Neyen and the Bartholomey brothers plus Kim Majerus pushed the visitors ahead 56-46, their largest lead.
Amicale's response came immediately in the fourth. The hosts opened with an 8-0 run to 54-56, absorbing a time-out from the Mondorf bench, and then closed with a decisive 14-2 surge from 54-59 to the finish. Tom Kapgen hit a key 3-pointer to tie it at 59-59 and followed with the go-ahead basket for 61-59. Gil Majerus added two late scores (63-59, then 65-61), and Ben Melcher buried the dagger from deep for 68-61. Bill Paul Fischer contributed timely inside points in the quarter as Amicale won the last 10 minutes 20-5.
Top scorers for Amicale: Kapgen 11, Ken Konrath 11, Melcher 10, Fischer 10, Gil Majerus 10, with veteran Christian Bodilsen (46, DNK) adding 5 including a third-quarter three and the first basket of the fourth. For Mondorf, Tim Bartholomey (25, 1.93m) led with 17, Neyen added 15 on multiple threes, Sven Bartholomey 11, Kim Majerus 7 (including a 5-point burst to start Q3), and Bob Hemmen 8. Tim Bartholomey picked up two quick fouls in the fourth, just as Amicale seized control; Hemmen's late free throws briefly kept Mondorf in touch at 63-61 before the hosts closed it out.
Coaching time-outs punctuated momentum swings: Mondorf's early stoppage at 10-8 in Q1, Amicale's in Q2, and Mondorf's again early in Q4 could not halt the final tide. Amicale (2-0) stays top of M-Division 3 and strings a second straight win; Mondorf drops to 1-1, now 7th after a three-place slide.
