San Giljan Foster Clark and Marsaxlokk Freeport won the right to contest tomorrow's Wilkinson Sword Division Two Knock-Out final after their victory in yesterday's semi-finals at the National Pool.
The Saints easily overcame the feeble challenge put up by Exiles RMF, with their 10-6 victory dismissing the Sliema team's hopes of winning the knock-out and thus atone for missing out yet again on the league title.
On the other hand, San Giljan boosted their chances of making it yet another Double.
In the second match, Marsaxlokk had better of Gozitan team Otters by eight goals to five, making sure of their victory in the second session.
Although the gap in the scoreline kept shifting from four to three goals in Marsaxlokk's favour during the last two sessions, the southseasiders were never in danger of losing the match.
