In the Post-game pressconference our players stated:
Stevan Milosevic (Dinamo): First, I want to congratulate to Sokhumi for a good game. Also, congratulations to my team for winning this cup. It is the first cup of 2013 season and I hope we continue like this. Obviosly, Im very happy , it was really tough game, we started well, especially in defence, but then we collapsed in the second quarter, but fortunately we managed to win this game and its important for us, that is something we have been working for during the half season, and I hope, the best is yet to come.

Joshua Jackson (Sokhumi): Congatulations to Dinamo, they played good. It was a tough game, we came back in the second quarter, and in the last frame we didnt make some shots and they hit some shots, we still fought till the end, it just was not enough. I want to say one thing, from the third minute of the third quarter there was a one foul call for me from this point to the end of the game, Davit Berekashvili doesnt respect us, he looked at the game as it is a joke for me, and Im upset about this and I will send DVD into Federation. This is terrible. He was on the base line and he just look away and dont call it. I said something to him because hes wrong and he dont do this just today, he did the same in Batumi, when we had almost won the game. He does the same things in every game. Well, its not about me or something, Dinamo made a victory, they played well and congratulations to them once more.
