Gaetan Spiteri the hero for Hamrun

Hamrun Spartans are back to winning ways after they defeated Vittoriosa Stars 2-0. With this result Hamrun join Marsaxlokk, Floriana and Tarxien Rainbows in second place in the BOV Premier League standings.

In a match which produced the best chances for Vittoriosa it was a hard defeat to swallow. The woodwork denied Vittoriosa two goals and some fantastic goalkeeping denied them as well.

Hamrun took the lead on the 35th minute when Gaetan Spiteri’s shot beat Vittoriosa goalkeeper Simon Agius.

Vittoriosa kept pressing for the equaliser, and six minutes into the second half Kevin Mifsud shot hit the crossbar.

Vittoriosa again were unlucky again when Jonathan Xerri’s header hit the woodwork as well 70 minutes into the match.

Hamrun killed off the match when on the 87th minute Lee James passed to Spiteri who then found no problem beating goalkeeper Agius.

Omar Borg was voted BOV Player of the Match
