Hibernians have joined Swieqi United at the top of the women’s league following their 0-0 draw with Birkirkara.
This comes after Swieqi’s key match against Mġarr United was called off due to the inclement weather that affected the Maltese islands over the weekend.
The Swieqi vs Mġarr match, which was abandoned after just four minutes, will be rescheduled for a later date.
