Africa-Press – Seychelles. <\/strong><\/span>League runners-up PLS Hawks have booked their spot in the men\u2019s division one Land Marine Cup final following their 64-61 win over Premium Cobras yesterday at the Victoria Gymnasium.<\/b><\/p>\n

In the final, Hawks will once again clash with Beau Vallon Heat who defeated them in the play-offs series, as well as in the group stage of the Land Marine Cup.<\/p>\n

It was Premium Cobras who looked more dominant in the early stages of the match, winning the first quarter 24-14, only to allow Hawks to fly back in the second quarter which they won 25-12 to take a 39-36 lead at half-time.<\/p>\n

Back to his drawing board during the break, coach Dominic Pillay managed to re-adjust his strategy in the third quarter where Cobras outscored Hawks 18-14 for a slight 54-53 lead at the end of the third period.<\/p>\n

Back to their old habits in the third quarter, Cobras kept committing the same mistakes, precisely turn-overs which PLS Hawks capitalised upon to score 11 more points, compared to seven for Cobras in the final quarter, giving the former a 64-61 win and a place in the final.<\/p>\n

Ed Talma was Hawks\u2019 top scorer with 13 points, while Sena Amekudi and Alao Solomon contributed 14 points each for Premium Cobras.<\/p>\n

The Land Marine Cup final will take place on Saturday at 5.30pm at Victoria Gymnasium.<\/p>\n

Also on Saturday, Anse Etoile Stars will face B Challenge in the women\u2019s final at 2pm, while in the men\u2019s division two final, Anse Boileau-based AB Boys will play against Anse Royale at 3.30pm.<\/p>\n
