The season starts this weekend at the Tal-Qroqq Sports Hall with the Women’s pre-season Cup tournament and the Men’s Super Cup match tomorrow.

The women’s pre-season Cup tournament is being played between today and tomorrow with qualifying matches in Pool 1 and Pool 2. The semifinals are scheduled for tomorrow at 12.30pm and 2pm while the final is to be played just after the men’s Super Cup match, that is, at 6.30pm.

Pool 1 consists of Luxol, Alyssa Ashley Loyola, Honey Athleta and Phoenix Petrus Pizza Qormi. Pool 2 consists of McDonalds Depiro, Hibernians and Starlites Sports Experience.

The Men’s Super Cup sees A-Z Electronics Athleta facing their rivals Bupa Luxol in what should be an interesting start to the season. The match is scheduled to commence at 3.30pm.

Matches are being played at Tal-Qroqq and not at the Ta’ Qali pavilion due to the atrocious state of the court at Ta’ Qali. Work to install a new court is expected to take about six to eight weeks.
