OK BUDVA claim Montenegrin men’s national league title for fourth straight year

OK BUDVA have further cemented their supremacy in domestic competitions as they needed three matches only to cruise past Buducnost Volley and claim the Montenegrin men’s national league title for the fourth straight season. Earlier this week, OK BUDVA beat Buducnost 3-2 (22-25, 25-15, 25-20, 21-25, 15-6) to seize the title and complete their fourth ‘double’ – i.e. national league and national cup – in as many years.

Maxim Mikhaylov top scored for the winners with 24 points, as Blazo Milic and Aleksandar Gmitrovic registered 18 and 15, respectively. Djordje Jovovic (22), Benjamin Hadzisalihovic (20) and Nikola Radovic (10) scored the most points for Buducnost.

The President of the Volleyball Federation Montenegro (OSCG) Cvetko Pajkovic presented the trophy for the national league winners to Aleksandar Gmitrovic, team captain of OK BUDVA.

“I would like to congratulate my players on their performance and the title! Of course, I congratulate Buducnost as well on a fair game and on their great fighting spirit. They made this final even more beautiful. Buducnost, completely relieved of any pressure, provided an extraordinary match and made our job much more difficult than in the previous rounds. I have to be satisfied with what we showed in this game and throughout the season. We achieved all the goals, we retained both titles, and we finished the season without any injuries. Therefore, I can be satisfied with everything,” said Milos Markovic, head coach of OK BUDVA.

Nemanja Zenovic, Member of the OSCG Management Board, was in charge of awarding the players of BUDVA with the gold medals, while OSCG Director of National Teams, Nikola Kazic presented the silver medals to the players of Buducnost Volley.
