The Laferla Futsal Trophy and the Women’s Enemed Trophy took centre stage last week. The scheduled fixtures determined the finalists of the women’s competition and the semi-finalists of the men’s tournament.
Women’s Enemed Trophy
The semi-finals of the Women’s Enemed Trophy delivered two competitive and closely fought encounters.
Zero Sei Futsal secured a 2-1 victory over Luxol St Andrews Futsal in a well-balanced contest that remained open until the closing stages. Csik proved to be the key player for Zero Sei, scoring both goals to guide her team into the final.
In the other semi-final, Swieqi United Futsal had to come from behind to secure a 1-1 draw against University of Malta Futsal Women. The deadlock remained even after extra time, meaning penalties were required to separate the sides, with Swieqi eventually emerging victorious.
As a result, the final of the Enemed Trophy Femminili will see Swieqi United Futsal face Zero Sei Futsal, with the decisive clash scheduled for 26 May.
Laferla Men Futsal Trophy
The quarter-finals of the Laferla Futsal Trophy produced entertaining matches filled with action and goals.
Futsal Selection U17 overcame Zejtun Corinthians Futsal 4-2 to secure their place in the semi-finals. Meanwhile, Luxol Futsal — fresh from their triumph in the Futsal Super Cup Malta — registered an emphatic 7-1 win over Birzebbuga Futsal.
A very balanced encounter saw University of Malta Futsal edge past Marsaskala Futsal 3-2, with a dramatic winning goal arriving in the final seconds of the match. In the last quarter-final, Futsal Selection U19 produced a strong comeback performance to defeat Sliema Futsal Fort Fitness 3-2 after trailing at half-time.
The men’s semi-final line-up is now complete, with University of Malta Futsal set to face Luxol Futsal, while Futsal Selection U17 will take on Futsal Selection U19 in what promises to be an exciting clash between two talented youth selections.
