Telstar Hesperange overran Nitia Bettembourg 85-35 at Bettembourg (terrain 1) in the M-U14 Division 3 championship round. The visitors stamped their authority from the tip with a 7-0 start (MICHAEL Yohannes for two quick baskets, MENCLER Mark from deep) and never looked back. Coach Jérôme Defer's side kept the pressure on, with captain LEUNG Ewen driving the offense throughout the middle phases.

The key stretch arrived early in the third quarter: LEUNG strung together four consecutive field goals to take the game from 14-41 to 14-49, a personal 8-0 run that broke any remaining resistance. He finished with a game-high 28. Around him, BARBOSA CONTE Diogo added 14 with steady scoring across the second half, HAMMOUDA Daniel chipped in 10, while ZIANVENI Adrian and MICHAEL each had 8 to balance Telstar's attack. The visitors' lead peaked at +52 (33-85) late in the fourth.

Nitia's best moments came from NIANG CEREZO Philippe, who led the hosts with 10, and OZIER-LAFONTAINE Tao (7). Captain KWASNIEWSKI Stanislaw Jan mixed his scoring well, knocking down a three and adding a free throw in the final period to reach 6, while IONESCU Andrei provided 4. Despite these pockets of offense, Nitia struggled to string together stops once Telstar found rhythm.

Discipline never tipped the balance, though there were sequences worth noting: MICHAEL committed two personals in quick succession in the first quarter, and BAYEGI Franck ESTEBAN was whistled for back-to-back fouls in the fourth. Coach Romas Degutis cycled his bench to find answers, but Telstar's sustained runs anchored by LEUNG's mid-game surge decided the contest early.
