MFPA clinch treble after trophy win

MFPA made a treble of successes in the Malta Veterans Football Association when they won the VMFA Trophy after beating their rivals Gżira United Veterans 2-1 in the final.

In fact, this team added another trophy to their shelf as after winning the championship they had also lifted the David Cluett Memorial Cup.

It was a very hard-fought game with the Malta Football Players Association opening an early lead and although they were overtaken by the Maroons, it didn’t take long for them to re-establish their advantage which was also decisive.

MFPA went ahead through Aleksandar Ribic with the first half ending 1-0.

In the second half, Gzira United came out well and equalized through Matthew Bartolo. Despite everything, it was a temporary joy for the Maroons as Gareth Sciberras scored the winning goal for MFPA.

At the end of the match, Malcolm Camilleri , the president of the Veterans Malta Football Association presented the cup to the MFPA player Jonathan Bondin.

Referees: Jason Penza and Lorry Sammut.
