After going down to Neptunes last Wednesday and conceding the first spot to their Balluta rivals, San Ġiljan were back to winning ways when they defeated Sliema by a three-goal margin in a match that produced 25 goals.

San Ġiljan cashed in on their opening man-up situations. Two goals, both on man-ups were scored by Ben Plumpton. Nicholas Bugelli made it 2-1 before the end of the first session.

On the other side, Zach Mizzi converted Sliema’s first from three extra-man sets before Jake Bonavia found a gap on right to make it 4-2.
