We have lost another
friend

Frank
Scicluna, below left, passed away October 14, at just 46 years
of age. Frank, who resided in New York, was felled by
illness. To say that he was a regular browser of this site
is not nearly enough. www.ghajnsielemfc.com came to be, in
large part, to put this Club one click away from his heart.
Gift wrapped
October
9
Ghajnsielem lost to Nadur Y. 2-3 in a match that will be remembered for
the Blacks' eagerness to hand their opponents scoring chances in the most
unlikely circumstances and, fatally, cheap goals. Adilberto Goncalves and
Renato Conceicao (from the penalty spot) scored the Blacks' goals. The
Under/12 side were supposed to play against Kercem Ajax, but the latter
did not turn up for the match. Ghajnsielem are expected to be awarded a
3-0 victory by the Youth F.A.

pace-setters with their second win in as many matches. They beat Xaghra
United 2-0. Kercem Ajax jumped into second place with a narrow 2-1 win
over S.K. Victoria W. The Club's Under/14 side kicked-off the season in
style with a lopsided 12-1 win over Victoria H. in the knockout competition.
