Luxol are the winners of the 2008 Louis Borg Cup for women following their 98-91 aggregate victory over Depiro.

Ruth Spiteri's girls started yesterday's second leg two points down following Depiro's 57-55 first-leg victory last week. However, that narrow deficit was wiped out immediately as Luxol led 24-16 at half-time.

They stayed in control to start the last session 38-22 in front. At this stage, Depiro tried to save the match but ran out of time as their bold all-round effort had drawn them closer to their opponents thanks to their pressing game.

For Luxol, Mandy Sciortino yesterday repeated his first-leg feat and finished as the side's top-scorer with 15 points.

This was the first honour for Luxol after a lapse of several years.
