Recap
Valletta faced Hibernians in an intense clash in the John Tabone Shield, with Hibernians emerging victorious 92-75, thanks to stellar performances from Derek Brown and Tedrick Wolfe.
The opening quarter saw Valletta strike first with Lorenzo Anderson’s fastbreak layup, but Hibernians quickly responded through Brown’s sharp shooting, including a smooth jump shot to tie the game early on. Hibernians gained momentum when Wolfe hit a three-pointer, followed by a reverse layup. Valletta’s Anderson tried to keep them within reach, consistently finding the basket, but Brown’s tip-in layup and Ivan Demcesen’s fast-break efforts extended Hibernians’ lead. A late-quarter three by Brown widened the gap to 29-18 by the buzzer.
In the second quarter, Valletta clawed their way back with Nicholas Grech knocking down back-to-back threes, trimming the deficit to four points.

Despite Valletta’s resilience, Hibernians maintained control, ending the quarter with a 66-55 lead.
Valletta made a spirited push in the final quarter. Stelmach’s reverse layup and Anderson’s fast-break efforts cut the lead to seven points at 65-72. Yet, Hibernians’ composure shone through, with Brown hitting free throws and Wolfe sealing the deal with a clutch three-pointer. As time wound down, Gouder’s turnaround jumper and fast-break layup capped a dominant performance, leaving Valletta unable to close the gap.
