A fired-up Phard Napoli ended Anda Ramat Hasharon's FIBA Europe Cup hopes on Saturday night. Playing in front of 2,500 home fans, Napoli produced an emotionally charged performance and swept to victory behind a strong second half showing.

While it was the visitors who had the better start to the game, Napoli always seemed to want the win a little bit more than their opponents.

Fenerbahce banished the last year’s final disappointment on Saturday evening in Napoli on Friday evening. The Turkish side hosted the 2004 FIBA Europe Cup Women Final Four, but fell at the semi-final stage of the competition.

Here in Napoli on Saturday evening, Fenerbahce edged ZKK Croatia Zagreb 61-62 in a tight fought contest to advance to Sunday’s final.

FIBA Europe is pleased to announce that the 2005 Final Four of the FIBA Europe Cup Women will be hosted by Phard Napoli Basket and will take place the 2nd and 3rd April, 2005 in Naples, Italy.

Petra Ujhelyi won a clear first-match advantage over her father Gabor on Wednesday when Anda Ramat-Hasharon thrashed Szeviep Szeged of Hungary 86-62 in the FIBA Europe Cup Women Pan-European play-offs.

And Petra does not believe the Hungarian champions, even with her father once again coaching, can turn the tables in the return match in Szeged on March 3.
