Super Cup
The Super Cup was
introduced as a competition to bring to a close the football season
in Gozo in 1988/89. Although, there have been seasons in which the
format has differed, the Super Cup pits against each other the top
four teams in the first division in the just concluded season.
Ghajnsielem’s first appearance
occurred in the 1994/95 seasons, and barring one season in which the
Blacks finished out of the top four, they have been present ever
since. More impressive is the fact that Ghajnsielem made it to the
final four seasons in a row.
The Blacks triumphed in 1998/99
against Xaghra United 6-2 (Errol Grima 2, Brian Meilak 2, Joseph
Attard II and Jude Madu). One year later the Blacks lost 0-2 to
Victoria Hotspurs. Then followed two victories against Zebbug Rovers
2-1 in 2000/01 in sudden death (Stefan
Farrugia and Aloy Ihebulu) and 2-0 in 2001/02
(Aloy Ihebulu and Jules Ngangue). After
an absence of one year from the final, the Blacks
returned with a vengeance in 2003/04. They crushed
Nadur Youngsters 5-2 (Matthew Portelli 2, Mbueko
Dominique p., Joseph Attard, N'dayi Kalenga) and
Victoria Hotspurs 5-1 (Jeremy Camilleri, Frank
Buttigieg, Matthew Portelli, N'dayi Kalenga 2) en
route to their fourth Super Cup win. The
following season, the championship winning Blacks
returned to the final but lost to Xewkija Tigers
1-3. |
