HC Alkaloid concluded the season with a 31:26 (14:15) away defeat to HC Eurofarm Pelister in Bitola, finishing fourth in the Super League playoff standings and securing qualification for next season’s EHF European Cup, where the club will enter as the defending champion.

The visitors enjoyed a strong start in Bitola, largely thanks to goalkeeper Galevski, who denied three penalty attempts (0:3). Although Pelister quickly recovered and leveled the score, the first half remained closely contested, with HC Alkaloid holding a slender 14:15 lead at halftime.

The momentum shifted after the break. A series of difficulties in attack and technical errors allowed the home side to take control and move in front. HC Alkaloid spent the remainder of the match chasing the result and battling to overturn the deficit but were ultimately unable to mount a comeback in the Boro Churlevski hall in Bitola.

HC Alkaloid signed off from its home court in impressive fashion, defeating HC Butel Skopje 37:21 (19:11). The team coached by Kiril Lazarov faced few difficulties and controlled the match from start to finish.

Ulfar Pall Monsi Þordarsson finished as the match’s top scorer with eight goals. Uros Borzas, Marko Stojkovic, and Filip Nikolov each netted five times, while brothers Marko Mitev and Damjan Mitev, along with young wing David Trajkoski, contributed three goals apiece. Goalkeeper Gjorgji Nikolovski also delivered an outstanding performance, recording 12 saves.

The match marked HC Alkaloid’s final appearance on home court this season, with only one fixture remaining on the schedule – an away encounter against HC Eurofarm Pelister.

Before the start of the match, three players who are leaving the club, namely Nikola Markoski, Martin Ivanovski, and Kristijan Simonoski, were presented with commemorative plaques by HC Alkaloid and received a warm farewell from both teammates and supporters.

The end of the season traditionally brings roster changes, and HC Alkaloid will part ways with three players who have been part of the first team.

Nikola Markoski, Martin Ivanovski, and Kristijan Simonoski officially bid farewell to the club today and will not be part of the first-team squad in Avtokomanda next season.

The trio was officially honored before the home fixture against HC Butel Skopje, where they received commemorative plaques from the club and were given a heartfelt send-off by supporters and teammates.

All three have left a lasting mark on the club’s history as members of the generation that delivered HC Alkaloid’s first trophies in the Macedonian Super League as well as the club’s maiden EHF European Cup title.

HC Alkaloid would like to thank them for their commitment and contribution and wishes them continued success in their future careers.
