Kavallieri in fine comeback win

Aloysians Prominent 10
Kavallieri 12

An impressive second-half recovery gave Kavallieri a precious win which now lifts them into second place, five points adrift of league leaders Wild Angels Vitality.

It took Aloysians five minutes to break the deadlock. But within the space of a few minutes they powered off to a 4-1 lead which was extended to 6-2 at half-time.

Kavallieri were a transformed side after the break. After reducing the arrears to 6-5, they kept piling up the pressure as Aloysians' jitters were becoming more evident.

Kavallieri moved ahead for the first time through an Ulrika Davis goal and moments later they notched their 10th goal. Despite having Kanna Olofssion red-carded five minutes from time, Kavallieri kept their cool.

A minute from time Aloysians did reduce the gap to 11-10 but this was to no avail as 30 seconds later Johanna Rizzo secured all three points for her side.

Annabelle Xuereb was Kavallieri's top scorer on four goals. Roslyn Debattista scored four goals for Aloysians as well.

Player of the match: Ulrika Davis (Kavallieri).

Standings: Wild Angels Vitality 12 pts; Kavallieri 7; Aloysians 4; University 0.

Men's Promotion League

La Salle Danone 28
University 19

La Salle Danone obtained an important win which lifted them up into second position on six points, just one behind La Salle.

La Salle stormed to an early lead while, on the other hand, University missed two penalties. As the minutes ticked away, La Salle continued to dictate matters as it was clear that University were struggling to stop their opponents' fury so much so that it took them ten minutes to score a first goal.

However, towards the end of the first half University stepped up their efforts and in fact they managed to narrow their disadvantage to six goals - 14-8.

On resumption, La Salle, managed by Chris Kenely, maintained their lead as University did their best to reduce the gap further. However, their strategy was rather weak as this led La Salle to increase their advantage to nine goals at the end of match.

Player of the match: Andrew Mifsud (La Salle Danone).

Standings: La Salle Piatnik 7 pts; La Salle Danone 6; Aloysians 4; University 3; Kavallieri 0.
