Siggiewi lifted the Louis Borg Cup for a second time yesterday after beating Luxol 87-77 in extra time in the return leg at Ta' Qali. There was little difference between the two finalists over both matches with Siggiewi claiming the honour 152-150 on aggregate. Luxol had won the first leg by eight points but that advantage was wiped out by Siggiewi in the last few seconds with a Marco Matijevic basket - 77-69. Luxol captain Robert Azzopardi could have tilted the balance in his team's favour and avoided extra time yesterday but he failed to pot any of his two free-shots just before the final buzzer went off. Pivot Matijevic was the game's top scorer with 22 points.

Luxol open eight-point lead in cup final - Mar 5, 2010 (by Eurobasket News)
Siggiewi Kent Boringer 65
Bupa Luxol 73
(19-13, 19-16, 14-20, 13-24)
Luxol have a slight edge in the Louis Borg Cup final after opening an eight-point lead at the end of the first leg.
The holders profited from Siggiewi's chaotic finish during which they failed miserably in their shooting, probably forgetting all about the second match coming up.

Luxol have a slight edge in the Louis Borg Cup final after opening an eight-point lead at the end of the first leg.
The holders profited from Siggiewi's chaotic finish during which they failed miserably in their shooting, probably forgetting all about the second match coming up.
Siggiewi were the ones who settled down first even though Marco Matijevic never really got to grips with Dirk Schembri's tight marking.
At half-time Siggiewi still led 38-29 and seemed in control of the match at that point.
However, as often happened this season, Siggiewi were unable to keep the good work going, allowing Luxol to regroup. The result before the last quarter got underway was tight - 52-49 for Peter Farrugia's team.
Farrugia insisted with the same five players on court and Luxol grew in confidence.
Siggiewi lost pace and messed up most of their attacks in the last minutes, allowing Luxol to open a five-point lead 70-65.
Then, with only a handful of seconds to go Matijevic was judged to have committed a foul. The ref's decision did not go down well with Siggiewi and Peter Shoults was given a technical foul.
Protests continued after the match but even though the refs might have been inconsistent in their control, Siggiewi should also blame themselves for throwing away victory.
Referees: B. Vassallo, G. Barbara, E. Mangani.
Louis Borg Cup final: Second leg - Sunday, 4.15 p.m.

Siggiewi beat Luxol 81-72 to win the MBA Shield.
Luxol 72
Siggiewi 81
(19-22, 17-21, 9-15, 27-23)
Siggiewi Kent Boringer yesterday captured the MBA Shield after despatching the challenge of holders Bupa Luxol 81-72 in the final, played at the Ta' Qali pavilion.
Luxol, who earlier this month went down to rivals Athleta Compleet IS in a high-scoring Super Cup final, were looking to keep hold of the MBA Shield but their bid was wrecked by Siggiewi who pulled clear of their opponents in the second and third quarters.
A balanced first session ended with Siggiewi three points ahead but the latter enjoyed a 12-0 run in the opening minutes of the second quarter to open a sizeable gap.
After changing ends with a seven-point lead, Siggiewi retained the upperhand in the third to extend their advantage to 19 points as the final 10 minutes got underway.
Luxol tried to make a comeback in the final session but Siggiewi held firm to win by nine points and secure their first honour of the 2009/10 season.
Steve Schembri (187-F-79), of Luxol, was the game's top scorer with 24 points, two more than Siggiewi's Lee Ross.
