Steve Camilleri remains on top of the scorers' list of Rari Nantes Bogliasco with 20 goals after 11 matches, ahead of team-mates Arnaldo Deserti (19) and Jeff Powers (15). He scored twice in his team's 10-10 draw with Nervi.
The Maltese player was missing because of suspension in Bogliasco's 15-6 defeat the previous weekend against pace-setters Pro Recco who lead the Serie A1 league table on maximum points.
The ex-Neptunes player, contracted with the Italian top league team from Genova, is attracting attention for his striking ability and versatility.
Nine goals of the 20 he scored so far came from open play.
