| Sagesse tie with Ahli Saida and secure D1 spot. |
| -June 19, 2008: By tying the game with Ahli Saida 1-1, Sagesse secured its presence in D1 for next year's league. The game was almost lost when the referee whistled a 2nd penalty for Ahli Saida, but they missed the opportunity to score the winner. Sagesse opened the score thanks to Vartan, then Ahli Saida tied with a 1st penalty. The season's last game will be next Thursday 26th against Irshad. An aimless game for both teams, as Sagesse secured its spot in D1 and Irshad is definitely relegated to D2. |

| Sagesse to meet Sporting in Cup semifinal. |
|
-April 7th, 2008: A tough, defensive and pressured quarterfinal confronted Sagesse to Muttahed tonight. As the score indicates, the game ending 69-62 to Sagesse was very defensive and cautiously handled by both teams, with a priority focus on tactics and coaches systems, especially on the defensive side. While Muttahed led the first 2 quarters, coach Nenad was able to adjust and fine tune his players’ performance –mainly defensively- during the halftime break, after which Sagesse took the lead and was able to clinch the ticket to the semifinals to meet Sporting next Saturday at 5pm in a top semifinal, maybe this season’s cup’s biggest game. |
