It was a goal-filled weekend at the National Pool Complex as the BOV Water Polo Winter League continued with decisive action across both the Premier and First Divisions. While Sliema and Sirens asserted their dominance in the top flight, Marsaxlokk clinical finishing earned them a merited victory in Division One.

Premier Division: Sliema Keep Pace as Sirens Crush Valletta

The battle for the Premier League title remains tight as Sliema Techfinity Hub Ltd secured a vital 10–6 victory over Neptunes Best Gyms Malta. The match was competitive early on, with the first session ending in a 1–1 deadlock, but Sliema gradually pulled away. Liam Galea was the standout performer for the Blues, netting four goals to ensure his team remains level with San Giljan at the top of the table.

In the weekend’s other top-flight clash, Sirens Build Fitness delivered a relentless performance to overwhelm Valletta Peak Insurance Brokers with a 24–9 scoreline. Andreas Galea put on a shooting clinic for the St. Paul’s Bay side, scoring seven goals in a display that left the Valletta defense without answers.

Division One: Cook Heroics Propel Marsaxlokk

In the Division One Winter League, Marsaxlokk MFF Ltd recorded a convincing 19–11 win against Otters Nivea ASC. The match was defined by a spectacular individual effort from Alastair Cook, who found the net eight times.

While Otters showed resilience through Bence Bobok, who scored five goals, Marsaxlokk’s early dominance and depth—including five goals from Jamie Borg Tabone—proved too much to overcome. The result lifts Marsaxlokk to 18 points, keeping them in the hunt for the top spots in the division.
