Blacks magic
May
30
Ghajnsielem have won the Super Cup for the fourth time in Club
history. The Blacks destroyed Victoria Hotspurs in a ten minute magical
spell early in the second half, with three goals of alarming simplicity
and stunning beauty. Jeremy Camilleri, Frank Buttigieg and Matthew
Portelli were the authors. Then, not satisfied, the Blacks went in search
for more and N'dayi Kalenga added two goals before Reuben Mercieca scored a
consolation goal from the penalty spot for the definitive 5-1.

knocked out

Blacks
end season on a losing note
May
23
Ghajnsielem ended their league commitments on
a losing note when they dropped to a 0-2 loss to Sannat Lions. Dione
Lautier scored both goals in the first half. With
their win over Ghajnsielem, Sannat Lions drew level on points with Kercem
Ajax and Xewkija Tigers and will now play in a mini-league to determine
the last three positions in the league table. The last placed team will be
relegated. The sixth place team will face St. Lawrence Spurs in a
play-off. Zebbug Rovers celebrated
their first championship with a 1-0 win over runners-up Nadur Youngsters.
Blacks
beat Zebbug R.
May
16
Ghajnsielem beat Zebbug R. 2-1 in a low key league encounter at the
Gozo Stadium. The Blacks' goals came from a N'dayi Kalenga penalty and a
Franco Magrin own goal. Sylvan Galea scored Zebbug's temporary equalizer. 
Relegation
picture still murky
May
16
Kercem A. beat Sannat L.
2-1 to move three points clear of the same Lions at the lower end of the
table. Xewkija T. beat Victoria H. 5-2 to reach the 19 point mark,
equal with Kercem A. Xewkija T. and Kercem A. have finished their
commitments. Sannat needs to beat Ghajnsielem in their last match to avoid
the drop and force a three-way relegation decider.
Blacks
eliminated
May
12
Ghajnsielem lost 3-4 in sudden death extra-time against S.K.
Victoria W. in the semi-finals of the U/21 league competition. Anthony
Buttigieg and Lawrence Haber gave the Blacks an early 2-0 lead. Right
after the Blacks's second the Victoria side pulled one back. Shortly after
they drew level. Midway through the second half, the Blacks fell behind
2-3 but Larry Buttigieg equalized immediately after the Wanderers' third
goal. Ghajnsielem's Miguel Refalo missed two glorious chances to net the
winner late in the game. He was unfortunate to hit the post in one
occasion and he shot just high on the other chance. In sudden death
extra-time, Darren Azzopardi shot weakly when all alone in front of goal.
Then down at the other end the Blacks conceded a goal which sent the
Wanderers to the final where they will meet either Xaghra United or
Victoria Hotspurs.
...and
then there were three
May
9
Victoria Hotspurs were the big winners today in the four-way clash
at the bottom of the table, and they did not even win. With the point
earned against Sannat Lions in a 1-1 draw, the Victoria side is now clear
of the relegation zone. Below them the situation has become even murkier
than it was going in with Xewkija T.'s 3-0 win over Kercem A. Three teams
are now equal on points at 16. Sannat L., Kercem A. and Xewkija T. have
the same number of points but Sannat L. has a game in hand on the other
two. both of whom have one match left to play.
Zebbug
Rovers champions
May
8
May 8, 2004 will be written in gold in the history chapters of
Zebbug Rovers F.C. On this day, these relative newcomers to Gozitan
football became champions of Gozo for the first time. Congratulations for
a magnificent season are in order to all those connected with this club.
Blacks
dethrone champions
May
8
Ghajnsielem F.C. finally had the better of Nadur Y. in a league match. The
Blacks conceded two early goals to Panic and Simoncic but came back with a
vengeance. N'dayi Kalenga and Matthew Portelli leveled the score before
the break. Then Joseph Attard put the Blacks up for good. Kalenga scored
the fourth later on for a 4-2 finale. The Blacks are now assured that they
will play first division football in 2004/05. On their part, Nadur Y. now
cannot catch Zebbug R. at the top of the table and have thus
relinquished the title of champions which they have held over the past two
seasons.
 
 
Zebbug
R. two points away
May
5
Zebbug Rovers are a mere two points away from winning the first
championship in their history after their 3-0 win over Xewkija Tigers.
They have a five point lead over second place Nadur Y. with two matches
left to play. Victoria Hotspurs beat Kercem A. 3-1 to claim sole
possession of fourth place in the standings.
Nadur
Y. keep hopes alive
May
2
Nadur Youngsters recovered well from their last setback against Victoria
Hotspurs when they beat Sannat Lions 3-0. They are now only two points
behind leaders Zebbug R., who have a game in hand. At the other end,
Sannat missed an opportunity to improve their league position. They must
now pick up points from their upcoming direct clashes.
