Weekend roundup
November
28
Frank Buttigieg's side
continued with its mastery of the bottom tier teams of the Under/12 league
by beating Zebbug Rovers 7-1. Ferdinand Apap scored a hat-trick, Justin
Buttigieg scored two, and Robert Grima and Adrian Cordina scored one goal
each. Late in the game, the team conceded the first goal of the season.
But starting keeper Richard Sammut is still unbeaten because Carmel Vella
was between the posts at the time of the goal. In first division play, Xewkija T. beat Xaghra U. 4-3 to go two
points clear at the top of the table. Kercem A. kept in touch with the
leading bunch by beating Victoria H. 2-0.
First loss in 3 years
November
26
Ghajnsielem's Primary School team dropped to their first loss in three
years. They lost to Victoria's Primary School 1-2. Larry Debono scored
Ghajnsielem's goal. Victoria's team, stacked with Year 7 (repeaters)
players, including ex-Ghajnsielem players, proved too strong for our Year
6 team. Ghajnsielem, who beat St. Theresa 3-1 (Brandon Spiteri 2, Larry
Debono) in another match this week, must overcome Nadur in their last
match of the season, and hope that Victoria at least draw or lose their
last match.
Blacks down

Ghajnsielem dropped to their first loss of the league season with a 1-4 to
Xewkija. David Carabott scored on his debut for the Blacks, but had to be
substituted before half-time due to a head wound. His goal had brought the
Blacks level. Three second half goals swung the match decidedly in the
Tigers' favour. Zebbug continued their good form with a 4-2 win over Nadur.

Ghajnsielem's Under/12 side

Apap, Justin Buttigieg and Gabriel Cordina scored two apiece. Brandon

2-0 to solidify their place at the top of the table. Daniel Bogdanovic
made his debut for the Blacks. David Carabott, who watched from the
stands, is expected to debut next Sunday against Xewkija T.
Kercem Ajax beat Nadur Youngsters 3-1 to
extend the latter's winless start to the season to five matches. This is
one of Nadur's worst starts to a league season. On their part Kercem kept
in touch with the leading group, jumping to 3rd place in the table.
