The BOV Winter League saw a flurry of goals this past weekend, with Sliema, San Giljan, and Exiles all securing high-scoring victories. The action at the National Pool was defined by clinical finishing and offensive dominance across the board.

San Giljan Edge Sirens in 30-Goal Thriller

Final Score: Sirens Build Fitness 14 – 16 San Giljan JP Projects

In arguably the match of the weekend, San Giljan JP Projects overcame a slow start to defeat Sirens Build Fitness in a breathless encounter. Sirens initially seized control, leading 5-3 after the first quarter thanks to a stellar 4-goal performance from Zach Mizzi.

The “Saints” found their rhythm in the second half, with Jeremy Abela matching Mizzi’s tally with 4 goals of his own. San Giljan’s superior bench depth proved decisive in the final period, as they outscored Sirens 4-1 in the fourth quarter to clinch a narrow two-goal victory.

Sliema Overpower Valletta with Clinical Display

Final Score: Valletta Peak Insurance Brokers 8 – 17 Sliema Techfinity Hub

Sliema Techfinity Hub continued their strong form with a dominant 17-8 victory over Valletta Peak Insurance Brokers. Sliema established an 11-5 lead by halftime, effectively ending the contest before the third quarter began.

The Blues’ attack was spearheaded by Elijah Schembri and Liam Galea, who both found the net 4 times. Valletta’s Max Zammit managed a hat-trick in response, but his side struggled to contain Sliema’s transition play throughout the match.

Exiles Welbees Cruise Past Ta’ Xbiex

Final Score: Ta’ Xbiex Amigos 7 – 16 Exiles Welbees

Exiles Welbees delivered a professional performance to secure a convincing 16-7 win over Ta’ Xbiex Amigos. The damage was done in the second and third quarters, where Exiles outscored the Amigos 9-1 to take a commanding lead into the final frame.

Keith Tanti led all scorers for Exiles with 4 goals, supported by a hat-trick from David Pace Lupi. Ta’ Xbiex showed signs of life in the fourth quarter, scoring four times—led by a brace from Russell Spiteri—but it was far too late to threaten the result (p. 1).
