Gżira Athleta claimed both men’s and women’s Louis Borg Cup titles yesterday after emerging winners on aggregate.
The men’s team, who had opened a comfortable
21-point margin in Game One, neutralised Floriana’s efforts in the second leg played yesterday. The Greens did win Game Two 60-58 but Athleta lifted the cup with a comfortable 146-127 scoreline.
In the women’s final, Athleta banked on the eight-point advantage from Game One as they held off
Starlites’ challenge in the second leg to win the cup by the tightest of margins, 107-105.
In fact, Starlites won the second leg 71-65 yesterday but their efforts were not enough to cancel the 34-42 loss from Friday.
