The BOV Men’s Division One returned last weekend and while the calendar year may be different, the league leader remains the same as Mellieha took the spoils in a close encounter with SiGMA Depiro on Sunday to stay the only unbeaten team in the division.

Title-holders Starlites continued to state their intentions of challenging for a three-straight title with a 48-point victory over Luxol, while Hibernians’ new signing Neil Brennen made the most out of his debut to help the Paolites beat Valletta Fighters as their positive season continues.
