League game day nine saw Starlites Naxxar maintain the top spot in the standings after a win over bottom-placed BUPA Luxol.
In the coming days, they are expected to sign a second American with the question being whether they would have enough time, with only six games remaining in the regular season, to challenge for a playoff spot when they are now three games behind the fourth spot.
Second-placed Hibs registered another century win but had to fight hard to ward off fifth-placed Gzira Athleta’s final efforts.
