Approaching the end of the season all remaining games should attract   a certain interest.   From the MAPFRE/MSV Life MASTERS PREMIER LEAGUE, MELITA and WARDIJA both with their best possible formation, played attractive football. The end result of 4-4 did not satisfy much for Wardija who are trying not to be relegated.  As for Dingli, they remained unbeaten and still five points clear from the second team. Winning  their next game they will mathematically be declared champions.  For Melita, Michael Gales had an excellent return after a long injury, scoring a hat-trick.   The other goal was by Edw. Frendo Jones.   Melita finished infront 3-1, going for the break. In the second half  Wardija played much better, and managed to get level 3-3.  Melita got infront again 4-3 but in the last minutes Wardija scored to get a deserved  draw.
