Sliema Wanderers back to winning ways following their Gudja United defeat, coming from a goal down to beat Birkirkara 2-1. Two second half goals for the side led by coach Andrea Pisanu through Sylvano Comvalius and Jean Paul Farrugia moving them up the table level on points with other high-flyers Hibernians, Gżira United and Ħamrun Spartans. For the Stripes a step backwards following their recent encouraging result dispatching Ħamrun Spartans a week before.
