The final scoreline is a clear indication that there was only one team in the game. The Mgarr youngsters had an easy outing against Ghaxaq who offered a very feeble challange. The Mgarr forwards found it very easy to penetrate the Ghaxaq defnce and midfield sector.

Mgarr went straight on the offensive and after going close early on, they opened the score with a choral move between three players. Jeremy Debono served Jonathan Gianino on the right flank who after entering the area he crossed to Luke Vella who scored with a low shot.

After Gabriel Vella hit the bar from his lobbed ball the score became 2-0 in the 18th minute when Abela served Vella with a through ball, the latter transferred the ball to Vassallo in the area to shoot past Cauchi.

Five minutes later it was 3-0: From a Luke Vella cross Vassallo scored from inside the area.

Mgarr scored their fourth five minutes before half time with a move which involved three players. Luke Vella served Law on the left flank who then crossed to Vassallo in the area who netted with a grounder.

Eight minutes after the restart Mgarr added a fifth goal when Abela served Gabriel Vella in the area who scored with a low shot and two minutes later the same player made it 6-0 after a similar move.

Substitute Damien Attard scored a seventh goal in the 44th minute after a cross by Abela. On the 48th minute, Abela scored direct from a free kick to make it 8-0 and two minutes later Gabriel Vella scored No 9 after a Luke Vella cross.

Between the 67th and 68th minutes Mgarr added two further goals through Gabriel and Luke Vella.
