On resumption, Equity resolved to shooting from the distance completing several baskets and a free throw (18-4) to win the game.

In the football field, the University football team claimed a deserved win over opponents Spedag, in a hotly contest FKF Premier league match played on 10th March at the Stima Club, in the FKF Womens Premier League while the gents, who are the Universities and Colleges Football League (UCFL) 2018 champions, have maintained an unbeaten run in recent games.
