With the pavilion at Ta’ Qali unavailable, the match was played at the University Sports Hall, Tal-Qroqq. Luxol were in front for most of the match and at half-time they led 32-30 with their new foreign player Steve Shackelford always in the thick of the action. However, Joe Galea’s team left their best for the final quarter during which David Bugeja (17 points) and Marko Todorovic (16) came to the fore to lead the team to victory.
