The 2014-15 St James Women’s League got underway last weekend with Hibs starting on a good note after beating PAVI Depiro to make up for their defeat to the same opponents in the MBA Shield the week before.

With Eleonor Cassar and Christine Grima in fine form, Hibs led from the opening minutes and changed ends 33-22 ahead.

Depiro had the better start after the interval but after closing the gap to 33-29, Hibs scored eight points to regain the upperhand and start the last quarter 41-31 ahead.

Depiro’s last efforts saw them narrow the deficit but Hibs held on for a 51-44 victory.

As expected, Athleta were too strong for Phoenix.

They signalled their intentions from the jumpball, chalking up 14 points without reply. Phoenix improved but could not prevent Athleta opening a handsome 36-18 lead at the half-time break.

Athleta continued to dictate matters for a deserved 69-39 win.
