MFPA continue on their winning run as they keep their position as league leaders
The most intriguing fixture from this round was undoubtedly be‐ tween first place newcomers MFPA and fourth place Hiberni‐ ans, with the former looking to build on their momentum and cement their newfound position in the table. MFPA proved suc‐ cessful in this objective as they narrowly won 7‐6 against a Hi‐ bernians side which fought till the very last second.
Alan Tabone and Ilia Nazarov scored a brace each for the Whites while Glenn Bonello and an own goal added to their score, however, six goals weren’t enough, not even for a solitary point, as a hat trick from the man of the match Mark Barbara, a brace from Aleksander Ribic, and goals from Gareth Sciberras, and Roderick Bajada proved crucial to give MFPA the three points in order to stay at the pinnacle of the table.
The other game between title contenders Birkirkara St.Helens and mid table Luxol was a close one with no shortage of goals whatsoever as the two sides bat‐ tled out a 6‐6 draw. In form Ayr‐ ton Buhagiar kept on adding to his personal tally as he netted yet another hat trick while a brace from Daniel Cremona and a goal from Claudio Calleja all helped in securing a point for Birkirkara.
Micheal Galea was undoubtedly the talisman for the purples as he scored a staggering poker to keep his side in the match while a brace from Manolito Micallef ensured his side they wouldn’t go home empty‐handed. This re‐ sult was surely not wanted for the former as they have lost a bit of pace in their title challenge in these last games.
Żejtun Red Stars didn’t show up for their game and therefore Gzira obtain three points through a walkover and thus they keep their place in second, just a point below MFPA.
Rabat emerged victorious over Żurrieq with a 6‐3 scoreline.
Ibrahim Tarek added a brace to his name as he keeps on his goal scoring run, whilst Timmy Zam‐ mit, Joseph Caruana and Dylan Falzon all scored for the magpies, while an own goal put the cherry on the cake. The three consola‐ tions for the losing side were scored by Mario Camilleri, Ahmed Trabelsi and Jurgen Mif‐ sud respectively.
