In the play-off semifinal matches, Sigal Prishtina defeated Trepça in a series of 3:0, followed by “Bashkimi” of Prizren, which did the same against Peja.
In the final matches, “Bashkimi” started with a victory in the capital city, however Sigal Prishtina overthrew it, scoring three wins in a row, bringing the latter the championship title.
This is the 12th championship title for Sigal Prishtina in the postwar era and the fourth in a row, whilst this is the second final for “Bashkimi” of Prizren, which unfortunately was not able to be crowned with any of the postwar titles.
