Ħamrun SC Dominate to Defend Their Crown
Defending champions Ħamrun SC demonstrated their class and intent with a commanding 8-2 win over WA Agency. Despite an early setback when Dylan Musú put WA Agency ahead, Ħamrun quickly responded through Joshua Olejabi. Tobi Hakiti then gave Ħamrun the lead, and from there, Joel Winters’ side never looked back.
Hakiti was the star of the show, completing a hat-trick, while Nezar Abouaisha netted twice. Further goals from JP Zammit and Kyle Bartolo sealed the victory. WA Agency managed a consolation through Essa Salem, but the result was never in doubt. The match was officiated by Andrea Naudi and Stephen Vella.
