That Nadur
Youngsters would go on to win the title after pulling ahead of the Blacks
in February was expected, but that the Blacks would not push them all the
way was not and made up for a disappointing month of April. The Blacks'
potent attack turned anaemic this month and as a result the Blacks
succumbed to Zebbug Rovers and Victoria Hotspurs in the league.
Nadur
Youngsters were officially crowned champions for the seventh time, Xaghra
United and Qala St. Joseph were officially relegated. Sannat Lions beat
Gharb Rangers to claim the second division title. Gharb Rangers' consolation
was promotion to the first division as runners-up.
After being
held from scoring for three consecutive matches, the Blacks broke out with
a vengeance in their quarter-final tie with Gharb. The ten nothing
score-line against an Gharb team already in beach mode set a new Club mark
for margin of victory. Joseph Attard I was amongst the scorers. The
long-serving defender's goal was his first for the Club and came in his
163rd senior appearance. Joe Debono, another scorer, became the oldest
player on record to score for the Club.
