Bahrain Club have advanced to the quarter-finals of the 2022/2023 Khalifa bin Salman Cup.

They booked their berth with a 79-68 win over Samaheej.

Ali Abbas had 25 points, including five three-pointers, to help spearhead his team while Tony Mitchell added 19 and Ali Asghar had 11 for Bahrain Club.

Ahmed Fateel scored 18 to pace Samaheej in the loss, while Basel Adel scored 16. Bahrain Club now move on to face Manama in the round of eight.

Elsewhere in the same stage, three-time defending cup champions Al Ahli are set for an exciting clash against Al Ettihad tonight, scheduled for a 9.30pm tip-off.

Also in the quarter-finals, Al Hala will be playing Muharraq.

Sitra are already through to the semi-finals, and await the winner of the Hala-Muharraq match-up.

This year’s competition is the seventh edition of the Khalifa bin Salman Cup, which is held in honour of the late His Royal Highness Prince Khalifa bin Salman Al Khalifa.

Ahli are looking to add to their triumphs in 2020, 2021 and 2022 with an historic “four-peat” this season.
