In the Elite Round Luxol St. Andrews gained a double win against Birkirkara and Swieqi United.

In their first match Luxol had a tough resistance from Birkirkara but managed to acquire the three points with a tight 4-3 score. Definitely it was a balanced encounter and Birkirkara came out heads up as they had the best performance so far.

Luxol had braces from Shataizan Zarb, George Frendo, Maicon Silva Gaiewski and Mark Zammit, together with a goal apiece for Leanderson Coriolando Sant'Anna and Andy Mangion.
