Valletta, with sspended coach Anthony Farrugia, had a comfortable win against the Gozitans, although they were denied in the opening session. From then on they established control on the game and no less than eight of their players put their names on the scorers’ list. Otters’ Stephen Grech was the game’s top scorer with his hat-trick, including a penalty, which however was to no avail. Otters lost all their four man-ups whilst Valletta scored in three out of five occasions.
