Samuel Aquilina was next in and managed to stay in for a couple of overs but was finally caught for two runs. Anthony Slater also batted well and scored fourteen runs. Gordon Hewitt scored nine runs not out. Andy Lenard was the other not out batsmen and batted the full twenty overs and scored sixty six runs being the highest individual score to date in the competition as well as being the highest run aggregate. Lenard hit eight fours in his innings. Melita totaled 116 runs and were confident of a close game knowing that the Marsa team had been struggling in the batting department.
