Athleta opened the 2013-14 season in style when they had the better of Floriana 60-51 in the men’s Super Cup final yesterday. Joe Galea’s team were in control right from the outset and inspired by their top marksman Michael Naudi, who potted 16 points, they took a six-point lead at the interval, 27-21. Floriana fought back in the third session and managed to level the scores at 35-all. But Athleta soon regained the initiative and quickly re-established a seven-point advantage. Floriana’s reaction failed to materialise and Athleta easily administered their lead to win the trophy for a fifth time in their history.
