Champions Rabat Depiro ended another succesful season when in the final of the Knock-Out they beat closest rivals The Hunters’Tower Restaurant by two goals to nil.

Thanks to this victory Rabat retained the trophy they won last year and registered their second consecutive double. Leading scorer Josef Antonelli opened the scoring on twenty minutes when he concluded a fine action by Jason Vella.

Seven minutes later Chris Bugeja fired in a short corner to send Rabat into the half time break with a comfortable two goal cushion. Young Stars tried to get back but despite their efforts and possesion they never really tested Azzopardi in the Rabat goal and if anyone was going to score it was likely to be Rabat, who were thwarted by their own carelessness and Young Stars goalkeeper Mizzi.
