Hamrun L. GoMobile 91

Footwork 70

Hamrun went temporarily to the top of the table yesterday as they disposed of Footwork and gained their sixth league win in seven games. Hamrun lead Pembroke by a point but the latter have a game in hand.

Hamrun had Alan Borg still suspended and Jide Jetson was missing, but they recovered Adrian Sultana after he had missed a number of matches.

Footwork had Anthony Huizer absent.

They had an early 7-5 lead but Liberty then were all over their opponents and an 11-0 run followed up by a quick 13-0 break left Footwork sprawling.

After the first session, Hamrun led 31-12.

In the second quarter Albert Spiteri was rested with his three fouls but Hamrun were still in command and extended their lead going on to 44-18.

Footwork, at least, recovered and led by Louis Camilleri, they found a regular way to the basket as Liberty were hit by an adverse 9-0 run. But they were still leading 52-34 at the interval.

After the break, Hamrun opened up strongly with an 8-2 break. At the end, they were leading 72-53.

In the final session, after Omar Said and Steve Sammut were sent off following a scuffle, the tempo picked up again and points remained plentiful and Ian Terribile put in two treys for Hamrun as they coasted through and did the double over Footwork.
