Maltese girls registered their third win in as many matches at the FIBA Europe Division C championship which is being played in Luxembourg with a 60-41 victory against Wales yesterday.

Malta confirmed it's superiority in this start of the competition despite the fact that coaches Santino Coppa and Sandro Farrugia used all the players for this game and giving ample time to those players who so far played less than the others.

Loretta Ellul, Rebecca Brincat Thoresen, Doreen Micallef, Christina Grima and Josephine Grima were Malta’s starting five. Josephine Grima continued on the previous game against Scotland and ended as Malta's top scorer with 20 points and also featured 10 rebounds.

Once again the Maltese girls made a good start and went 10-3 ahead mid-way through the first quarter. A basket by Rebecca Brincat Thoresen ended the first period on 16-5 score for Malta. After increasing the lead to 28-11, there was a short come-back from Wales but at halftime it was still 31-16. Some turnovers in the third quarter helped the Welsh to reduce the deficit to 15 points 47-32 at the end of the session. However, the Maltese players kept the rhythm for a final score of 60-41.

Malta will next face Andorra in the semi-finals.
