In an entertaining and high-scoring encounter in the BOV Women’s Summer League played on June 27, 2026, San Ġiljan Myaffiliates secured a hard-fought 13-10 victory over rivals Sliema Arkadia.

San Ġiljan managed to maintain an upper hand from the opening whistle, answering every challenge thrown by a resilient Sliema side in a match expertly handled by referees Attilio Paoletti and Luke Galea.

Balanced Team Effort Drives San Ġiljan Victory

San Ġiljan’s victory was built on a very balanced offensive display, with multiple players stepping up to shoulder the scoring responsibilities. Captain Bena Borg and teammate Ella Miceli led the charge for the team in white, both registering crucial hat-tricks (3 goals each) to keep Sliema’s defense under constant pressure.

The remaining goals for San Ġiljan were distributed among:

• Ezmily Mifsud – 2 goals
• Abby Bonello – 2 goals
• Iva Rozic – 2 goals
• Marie Rose Tully – 1 goal

San Ġiljan’s early momentum in the first quarter, which they took 4-2, ultimately cushioned them through the highly competitive subsequent periods.

Sophie Camilleri Spearheads Sliema’s Valiant Response

Sliema Arkadia refused to let the game slip away easily, matching San Ġiljan blow-for-blow in a high-octane second and fourth quarter. Sliema’s captain Sophie Camilleri put on an absolute masterclass, leading all scorers in the pool with a stellar 4-goal performance.

The clinical Orsolya Hertzka also proved to be a major threat, securing a hat-trick with 3 goals, while Cika Padella and Eyla Schembri rounded out the score sheet:

• Cika Padella – 2 goals
• Eyla Schembri – 1 goal

Despite the excellent individual scoring contributions from Camilleri and Hertzka, Sliema were left playing catch-up due to a slower start and a tough third quarter where they were outscored 2-1. San Ġiljan’s defensive resilience in key moments proved to be the defining factor, locking down a vital three points in the summer league campaign.
