Sliema McDonalds  11

(2-3), (4-3), (1-4), (3-1)

Sliema McDonalds had to suffer to beat an excellently organized Sirens side only winning by a solitary goal with Sirens also coming extremely close at the end. The first session saw Sliema take a 2-3 lead which was nullified by Sirens in the second session for both sides to go into the final two sessions 7 apiece.

However Sliema pulled three goals ahead at the end of the third session winning 4-1 with Privitera in particular evidence. Sirens made it exciting in the final session winning 3-1 for a final 10-11 scoreline which falttered Sliema but which leaves them on maximum points after five games.
