Sirens Ritter Sports 7

San Giljan Giuseppe’s 11

(1-1)(3-4)(0-3)(3-3)

The saints consolidated their second position in the standings, and this was their third victory over Sirens in five matches, with one game ending even.

Sirens, fresh from their win over Sliema, shared a low score opening period, and San Giljan then opened up a three goal advantage, with their first three strikes coming from penalty throws. Sirens clawed their way back, to even matters, but before the halftime buzzer, the Saints eked out a minimal lead, at 5-4. After the break there was a cold shower for Sirens, as they conceded three goals without reply, and San Giljan could start the final session sitting pretty on a four goal advantage.

The saints kept their end up, but late in the match Sirens replied with a brace of strikes, which didn’t really affect the outcome of the game, and San Giljan made doubly sure with the last goal of the encounter.

Sirens weren’t so accurate in their man ups, as in their last match, and only converted once from five. Clint Mercieca obtained a hat trick for them. San Giljan had five numerical advantages, scoring two goals in the process. Filip Trajkovic scored five times, and is now their top scorer. Nikols Sutic’s contribution was a hat trick.
