The Louis Borg Cup got under way last weekend with some exciting ties. Depiro managed to overturn a seven-point first leg deficit against BUPA Luxol to reach the semi-finals thanks to late points in the second leg which handed them a two-point aggregate win. Starlites GIG and Hibernians produced a hard-fough tie. Hibs came from behind in the first game to open a two-point lead heading into the second leg. But it was the Starlites who reached the last four as they replied with a double digit win in the return match. In the third series, Gżira Athleta registered comfortable victories over Balkan Fusion. One hopes that the latter may be able to strengthen the squad during the forthcoming registration window in January possibly also with some promising fringe players on loan from other clubs. In the semis, Gżira Athleta face Floriana MCP Car Parks while Depiro take on Starlites GIG. The first legs will be played on Thursday with the return matches pencilled for Sunday.
