In the premier league Birkirkara Masters, registered their first win in a difficult encounter beating champions Mosta Shaggy’s 10-7. The game was balanced for most of the time, but B’kara having Edwin Camillleri as player coach, was more determined and were always in control.
They were always infront and despite a late effort by Mosta, they kept cool and gained the three points. The champions must show progress if they want to defend the title they won last season.
Dingli desana and Wardija Masters produced a tense but a game wth some atractive play with Dingli winnning 8-5.

With Dingli increasing thepressure, they startled ther opponent with three quick goals to go infront, a lead they managed tocontrol till the end.
