Both Qormi and St. Andrews argued that their opponents had failed to respect clause 9 iii b of the Competition Rules of the Malta Football Association which states that there has to be at least eleven home-grown players in the squad.
In the match between Qormi and Birkirkara, the Stripes were forced to make a last-minute change where Carlos Chavarria replaced Michael Mifsud in the starting line-up.
On the other hand, in the game between St. Andrews and Floriana, the Greens had only seventeen players in the squad.
Birkirkara defeated Qormi 2-1 while Floriana and St. Andrews shared the spoils in a goalless draw.
The protests are expected to be heard later this week.
