In the corona suites, the basketball season got an abrupt end a week ago. Now it is clear that Helsingborg gets the twelfth and last place in the women's basketball.

The long season was played with only eleven teams, with the promotion of Helsingborg the series will be complete with twelve teams again. At the same time, no team that played the last season is degraded.

When the season ended unexpectedly, Helsingborg was second in Basketettan Södra. However, the Scouts had played two rounds less than the leading RIG Mark. One and two in both basketballs (Southern and Northern) would have played for a place in Basketligan last weekend in March.

- We probably won the series if we got to play clearly, explains chairman Per-Åke Lundquist for SVT Sport.

Could not qualify

The other three teams that reached the "final four" were RIG Mark and Luleå (national gymnasium in Mark and Luleå) and Alvik's development team, none of which would be relevant for a place in Basketligan. Therefore, the choice fell easily in Helsingborg.

- It's really fun. We have been working and planning for quite some time. Now we have reached the next step, says Per-Åke Lundquist.

"Hope to be able to take advantage"

In this context, the club is a small association with no foreign imports or major sponsors.

- We have the finances in order, but we have no large revenues or expenses. It might be an advantage for us in this situation when several clubs with higher spending are being hit with financial problems. We hope to continue to increase training volume and be ready when the league starts, ”says Per-Åker Lundquist.
