Sliema Hotsticks 0
Qormi 7
With this emphatic win, Pasta Poiatti Qormi not only consolidated their position at the top of the table but confirmed themselves as clear favourites to win this year's championship.
Qormi could not have had a better start as they took the lead after only seven minutes. Steve Tanti gathered the ball just inside the 22-metre area, dribbled past several Sliema players on the right flank and his low cross across the D was met by Phillip Magri at the far post.
From a similar attack on the 25th minute, Gareth Dimech made no mistake after receiving the ball from Saul Halladay.
After the resumption, Qormi kept pushing for more goals and in the 39th minute, Jonathan Aquilina hit goal no.3 with a neat push shot from the edge of the D.
On 48 minutes, Keith Calleja put Qormi four goals up with a clean hit and Petrovic added a fifth in the 50th minute.
Nine minutes later, Qormi keeper Ramon Chircop denied Sliema a consolation goal when he produced a brilliant one-handed save.
A pass from Dimech set Petrovic up for his second goal as the Qormi player rounded the goalkeeper and placed the ball in an empty net.
Just before the final whistle, Qormi struck their seventh when they were awarded a penalty stroke which was converted by Joseph Cuschieri.

Rabat Depiro 2
