The national Field Hockey League came to an end last Saturday.

The two matches played were White Hart vs Qormi and Young Stars vs. Sliema.

In the first match Qormi got the better of White Hart with two first half goals scored by Jonathan Borg when on both occasions he concluded setups by Steve Tanti.

White Hart did have their chances during the second half but they just could not put the ball away.

With this win Qormi consolidated their position in the runners up position; just one point behind the eventual winners Rabat Depiro.

In the second match Young Stars were held to a 2-2 draw by the ever improving Sliema side.

It was the Floriana side that drew first blood through a Penalty Stroke converted by Dave Evans, however within minutes Sliema levelled the score through a well taken penalty stroke by Shaun Mifsud. Just before lemon time Simon Baldacchino put the Sliema side ahead when he concluded a counter attack with a thundering hit from just inside the shooting area.

In the second half Young Stars went all out and took control, however they had to wait till the 51st minute to equalize through Marvin Vella.

The final standings are as follows:

Rabat Depiro 18 points, Qormi 17, Young Stars 12, White Hart 7, Sliema 6.

The Top Scorer was Shawn Falzon with eight goals followed by Luke Borg Costanzi with 7.

The next event to bring the season to an end will be the K.O. The final is to be played on Saturday 31 May starting at 6pm. If it ends in a draw after extra time a replay will be held on Wednesday 4 June at 7pm.
