A rollercoaster of emotions was witnessed in the first match as Żejtun Red Stars edged Birkirkara St Helen’s 10-9.

The Red Stars were leading 10-4 at some time but risked a lot in the last part of the game as the Birkirkara side made a swift reaction and scored five goals in the process although they were still eliminated.

Gilbert Camilleri Lowell netted a poker while George Frendo and Joseph Chetcuti scored a hat-trick with Birkirkara replying through braces by Claudio Calleja, Andy Portelli and Glenn Bonello with Etienne Farrugia, Robert Perkins, Christian Caruana also finding the back of the net.

Referee: Lorry Sammut.

Newly crowned league champions MFPA are still with the chance of obtaining a double after seeing off Luxol St Andrew’s 5-3.

It was a well-balanced encounter with MFPA who always had the edge but with Luxol who always hit back.

Mark Zammit was MFPA’s inspirational player as he netted a hat-trick with Mark Barbara and Alexander Ribic also on target.

Luxol scored their goals through Tim Elis, Michael Galea and Luke Satariano.
