SUMMARY
Sannat Lions made it four wins from four matches of the campaign in their match against Qala Saints. Sannat’s 5-0 win over Qala matured mainly through four goals scored during the second period but the final score reflects their superiority over the Maroons. With the points obtained Sannat remain undefeated and also the only side with maximum points in the category.
Sannat are improving their performances from one match to another. In the match against Qala, Sannat’s striker Antoine Camilleri confirmed his good moment of form, while the other striker Ebube Ralph Okpokwu is recovering from a very difficult start in the new season. In the meantime, the other players in the other department are also gaining more confidence and this has been expressed by the fact that Sannat’s five goals in the match against Qala were scored by five different players. With this result, Sannat will start as favourites in their next match of the campaign against the challengers for promotion Oratory Youths. In the meantime, this was Qala’s second consecutive defeat and therefore they suffered a setback in their ambitions to be among the competitive sides of the category, after a very positive start where they obtained four points from their first two matches in the league.
