Għajnsielem F.C. started the season as
favourites to repeat as champions and
they did not disappoint. Once again, the
Blacks dominated the first division from
start to finish. Although Għajnsielem
could point to only one blowout win in
the first round, a 5-1 thrashing of
Xagħra U., the Blacks dismissed the
other challengers with convincing
performances. Għajnsielem commenced the
second round with another 5-1 victory,
this time on Victoria H. This was
Għajnsielem’s eight straight win over
this club. It was also the ninth win in
ten matches over the Reds since the
infamous 1968 reversal. The only blemish
on the Blacks’ league record this season
was the second round defeat at the hands
of Xewkija Tigers. This unexpected
defeat put the closest pursuer, S.K.
Calypsians, momentarily back in
contention. Għajnsielem did not have to
worry about this challenge for very long
because Calypsians dropped a point in
their next match against Xewkija and
then lost to Victoria H., a result that
left Għajnsielem beyond reach at the top
of the table, and confirmed them as
champions of Gozo. Għajnsielem did not
relent and wrapped up the season with
three more wins. |
