Hibs Medsea are the new champions in the women's Peugeot League. Yesterday, Mario Tabone's girls beat Depiro Still 69-64 (16-12, 17-15, 23-12, 13-25) in a tense Game Five from the final series for an overall 3-2 play-off victory.

Hibs' success meant an end to Depiro's four-year reign as Malta champions after the Rabat side had won the title each year since 2002.

The championship was the ninth for the Paola team who were twice behind in the play-off series but showed grit and determination to overwhelm the worthy Depiro challenge.

Louis Borg Cup SFs (men): Thursday - 6.15 p.m. Hamrun vs Pembroke; 7.45 p.m. Luxol vs Depiro.
