ELEVENTH TITLE IN A ROW
This year Nymburk participated in several challenges. Winning the National cup and league, it has changed the Czech basketball history. For the first time ever it fought through the league season without a single loss. The Czech champions conquered the scene for the eleventh consecutive year beating the second best Czech basketball team Ariete Prostejov for the fifth time in a row.
The only Czech representing team also gained success in Eurocup, where it battled through two tough groups all the way to the play off and lost against the later finalist UNICS Kazan. Despite this loss, both the Latvian coach of Nymburk Kestutis Kemzura and the team have nothing to feel sorry about. Fitting the LAST 16 is a great success in the new tournament format.
