The game between Depiro and Hibernians had various facets with both sides enjoying positive moments and then had an interesting finale with Depiro managing to end victorious with a late Cameron Cornelius hoop.
The two sides were practically at full complement after last season’s suspensions with Depiro also now led by Ruben Baldacchino after that the American coach Brian Semonian was sacked earlier in the week.
It was the same Depiro who set off on a high note with respective treys from Cornelius and Miguel Brincat followed by a close-range Kameron Rooks hoop for 8-0.
However, Hibs quickly reacted with centre Ivan Demcesen making his height and weight under the boards matter.
