(3-2), (4-1), (5-1), (2-5)
As expected, Neptunes Emirates did not brook much effort to dispose of Valletta United in a one sided encounter.
The first session was quite close ending 3-2 but in the second, Neptunes moved ahead (4-1) with Jordan Camilleri, Clint Mercieca and captain Niki Lanzon on the scoresheet.
Neptunes also dominated the third session which they won 5-1. This time it was Stellini and Timmy Agius who scored apart from the usual suspects.
Valletta recovered some of their lost pride in the final session winning 5-2 with goals coming from Spiteri Staines, Cordina, Mock and Paolella for a final score of 14-9 in favour of Neptunes.
