Referee: Saviour Parnis   Photo Gallery © www.ghajnsielem.com   MATCH REPORT Għajnsielem F.C. resumed their championship pool commitments with a difficult match against Xewkija Tigers. The Blacks needed to beat the Tigers to stay on course for the league title. In a tense match, dominated by the Blacks, Għajnsielem failed in their objective and could do no better than a 2-2 draw against this robust team. This result combined with Oratory Youths win over Sannat Lions mean that now the Blacks are no longer in a position to secure the championship before the season finale against the Youths. Marco Ciangura gave the Blacks a narrow 1-0 first half lead when he knocked in the rebound from his own shot. Xewkija turned the tables with two quick second half goals with excellent shots from distance. There was little that stand-in goalkeeper Christian Cauchi could do to stop these efforts, the second of which was from beyond the halfway line. Jamie Vella bundled in an equalizer but the Blacks, led by a visibly frustrated Damon Hili, could not score the winner in the closing stages of the match with many efforts blocked by the Tigers defence, stopped by their excellent goalkeeper or off the post and wide.
