The St Paul’s Bay side secured their championship status following an incredible domestic season, culminating in a dominant series of performances that solidified their absolute control over the sport. Their champion status was heavily underscored by a masterclass performance on July 16, 2026, where they dismantled rivals Sliema Arkadia with a crushing 28-13 victory.

Final Match Masterclass
In their definitive encounter against Sliema, Sirens showcased exactly why they are champions. They blew the game wide open in the second frame, outscoring Sliema 8-2 to carry a commanding 13-5 lead into the halftime interval.
The offensive avalanche was spearheaded by the unstoppable Morgan McDowall, who fired home a staggering 10 goals. Team captain Denise Micallef provided lethal support with 9 goals of her own, alongside a 4-goal contribution from M. Perici Ferrante. Sliema tried to counter through Holly Camilleri’s 3 goals, but a fourth-quarter red card to Nadya Azzopardi completely extinguished any hopes of a fightback.
