Recap
Hibernians may not have had the best of seasons in these past years, but the side coached by Mario Tabone is looking as strong as ever in this season’s John Tabone Shield. The Paolites have lost just once so far and beat SiGMA Depiro over the weekend with an impressive performance.
Depiro’s Joshua Tomasi hit the first basket of the game before Ivan Demcesen and Mason Hix put Hibernians in the lead.
A Matthew Attard three-pointer, one of five throughout the game, put the Paolites up by seven and Calvin Whipple opened the first double-digit margin before Hix made it 15 points at the first buzzer.
Kameron Rooks opened the second quarter scoring with a layup and a pair of freethrows before Cameron Cornelius made it a 10-point game. In spite of this, with Demcesen the focal point of Hibernians’ offence, the side could shift play onto different shooters with Attard hitting two threes for a 45-30 first-half finish.
Rooks and Tomasi were hitting on all cylinders for the Mtarfa side in the third quarter but Whipple, Demcesen, and Hix were not to be stopped with the former hitting three consecutive three-pointers in one minute as Hibs were 24 points ahead with 4.54 remaining in the quarter.
The final quarter was even better for Hibs as they pushed harder to increase their lead with the highest being that of 30 by the end of the game.
