Hibernians are the men’s BOV Division Two champions after beating Mellieħa Mr Green 60-40 in the fifth match from the final play-off series on Sunday.

The Paolites looked on course to complete a whitewash after winning the opening two matches in the best-of-five contest. But Mellieħa fought back strongly to force a decider after two successive wins in Games Three and Four before the Easter break.

However, Hibernians delivered when it mattered to claim the title. Their captain Stefan Vella had double cause to celebrate as he was named Most Valuable Player of the final play-offs.
