Valletta 0 - Qormi 0

Sliema W - 2 Birkirkara 3

Valletta missed a chance to go to the top of the Premier league when they were held to a goalless draw by Qormi.

The drab match was played today at Ta'Qali this evening after having been postponed from Saturday because of the condition of the pitch.

The draw means Valletta are a point behind Hibs. Qormi had desperately needed a draw to ensure they would not be in the relegation pool.

In the second match today, Birkirkara consolidated third place by beating Sliema 3-2.

Goal-scoring see-sawed between the two teams. Michael Galea opened the score for Birkirkara in the first 10 minutes and Noel Turner equalised on the 39th minute. Hartvig put Birkirkara ahead just after the break, but Muscat restored matters again for Sliema within a minute.

Jean Pierre Mifsud Triganza handed the three points to Birkirkara with an 81st minute effort.
