BOV Division 1: San Gwann collect precious points

San Gwann claimed three precious points in the battle against relegation as they defeated Zejtun Corinthians 3-1 in one of the two matches from the BOV First Division at the Victor Tedesco Stadium on Monday.

In another match, a penalty by Jean Pierre Mifsud Triganza on the 62nd minute and a goal by Yanis Tonna on the 79th handed Pembroke Athleta a 2-0 win over Lija Athletic. A win which puts Pembroke in joint-fifth place.
