Sliema Wanderers got their Premier League campaign off to a strong start as they brushed aside newcomers Vittoriosa Stars 3-0.

Ryan Fenech put the Wanderers ahead on the stroke of half-time when he got past three Vittoriosa midfielders before firing home a low shot into the bottom left-hand corner of the net. Sliema doubled their lead after 50 minutes,

Fenech set up Ivan Woods who slotted the ball past onrushing Vittoriosa goalkeeper Henry Bonello.

Vittoriosa tried to hit back but they could not convert their superior possession into goals and in fact it was Sliema who sealed the issue two minutes from time when after a neat interchange between Fenech and John Mintoff, substitute Miguel Ciantar fired the ball past Bonello.
