Win or bust for Luxol as Pembroke look to wrap up issue

Trailing 2-1 to champions Pembroke in the play-off final series, Fiat Luxol must win the fourth game tomorrow afternoon if they are to remain in hunt for the title.

On the other hand, a victory for Pembroke tomorrow would ensure their second championship in a row.

The three games played so far in the Kinnie League play-off final have produced contrasting results and one wonders what the fourth game has in store.

In the third game, Pembroke's victory owed to the fine form displayed by all-rounder Michael Naudi and the marked improvement in their passing and shooting.

By contrast, John Tabone's squad lacked aggressiveness in defence and were slow in their attacking build-ups.

Luxol have also betrayed a tendency to lose their composure when things are not going their way. Robert Azzopardi and Silvio Cassar can help more their team during delicate moments if they can avoid rushed shots from difficult positions.

Luxol would do well to forget their performance last Wednesday, especially in the first two quarters of the game when they suffered a 25-2 break. Going into the fourth game in the right frame of mind is imperative for Luxol if they are to keep their title hopes alive.
