Neptunes Leo Vegas registered their second win of the Winter League Premier Division when they defeated Exiles Jetfreight by 13 goals to 8 in a somewhat tight encounter apart from the second and fourth sessions which Neptunes won 5-1. The game was played under incessant rain which drenched the Maltese islands and which naturally saw a miserable attendance at the National Pool.

The goals were evenly distributed with Niki Lanzon, Gabriel Pace, Nikolai Zammit, Jordan Camilleri and Matthias Azzopardi all grabbing a brace for Neptunes. Sean Xerri de Caro, Aurelian Cousin and Benji Laznon also scored two each for Exiles.

The first session ended 2-2 with Matthias Azzopardi and Nikki Lanzon scoring for Neptunes and Mark Fenech and Timmy Sullivan replying for Exiles. Exiles caved in in the second session which Neptunes won 5-1. Matthias Azzopardi, Gabpriel Pace, Niki Lanzon and James Muscat scored for Neptunes with Exiles replying through Sean Xerri de Caro.

Surprisingly, Exiles won the third session 2-1 although by that time the match was well and truly over. In fact, Neptunes reasserted themselves in the fourth session with another 5-1 victory where Jordan Camilleri and Benji Lanzon helped themselves to more goals for a final score of 13-8.
