The 2022/23 men’s basketball season came to a close last week with Starlites FIJO successfully defending their league title after a championship series win over rivals Mellieħa Libertas.

Starlites’ coach Paul Ferrante stated that the 2022/23 season was a memorable one.

“It reminded me so much of the 2015-16 season Virtus season,” he said.
