Marsascala 10
Marsaxlokk 8

(3-3, 2-1, 3-2, 2-2)

Marsascala Mor€ beat neighbours Marsaxlokk in a close contest billed as the derby of the south, yesterday.

The issue was only resolved 14 seconds from the end when Pierre Borg’s team took a two-goal advantage on 10-8.

Marsaxlokk’s early lead was neutralised three times before their opponents conducted the scoreline.

This initiative, led mainly by Stephen Micallef and Karl Rizzo Naudi, scorers of four and three goals respectively, was not quite hammered home, allowing Ian Azzopardi’s team to keep within levelling the score.

But despite their efforts, Marsaxlokk still finished on the losing end.

Marsascala: F. Buhagiar, J. Busuttil, R. Calleja, C. Bonello, E. Meli, L. Grixti 2, K. Rizzo Naudi 3, J. Cremona, S. Micallef 4, G. Desira Buttigieg 1, D. Cassar, M. Pace, J. Cremona, C. Mifsud.

Marsaxlokk: A. Xuereb, P. Micallef, A. Galea 1, K. Grech, C. Bugeja, M. Fenech 3, M. Mifsud 2, A. Mifsud 1, G. Zammit 1, A. Arrigo, M. Scerri.
