Daikin Qormi picked up where they left off last season by the taking the Super Cup, the hockey seasons first honour. The reigning Champions and KO Winners emphatically saw off the challenge of perennial rivals Sliema Hotsticks by four goals to nil. The difference between the sides was simple enough. Qormi took their chances while Sliema Hotsticks did not. The first quarter started quietly as both sides got the rustiness out of their system following the summer break. The game sprang into life in the final five minutes of the quarter as Qormi goalkeeper effected a fine double save to thwart Sliema.

Daikin Qormi tellgħu l-ballun in-naħa l-oħor u mir-rebound ta’ short corner Luke Bajada tefagħhom fil-vantaġġ. It-tieni kwarta għaddiet bi ftit ażżjonijiet denji ta’nota għalkemm għal darb’oħra Mifsud ċaħdu gowl lis-Sliema. It-tielet kwarta kienet vivaċi u bdiet b'Shaun Dimech u Luke Bajada ta’ Qormi li ma rnexxielhomx jegħlbu lil Ludwig Cole fil-lasta ta’ Sliema wara zball fid-difiża ta' Sliema.
