MFPA and Gżira United meet this evening at the St Dorothy’s Grounds for the VMFA Trophy final. It will be the last encounter of a scintillating 2023/24 season which MFPA dominated with the league title. The latter hope to make a treble of successes as they meet their arch-rivals Gżira United who during the whole season were a tough nut to crack.

MFPA won the title acquiring a five-point advantage over the same Maroons. The team started the season on a not-so-positive note but during the second round they started to gain ground to get the most important objectives.

On the other hand, the Maroons could have done better in some championship matches but now they have the chance to get sweet revenge of the rivals.

Both teams faced each other four times during this season as Gżira won the first encounter 8-5 with MFPA prevailing 8-2 and 4-2 while the last match ended in a 4-4 scoreline.

MFPA ousted Żurrieq Wolves 11-6 and Birkirkara St Helen’s 3-2 while Gżira eliminated Luxol 9-3 and Rabat 8-6 after the penalty shoot-out.

There will be an interesting duel between the league’s top scorer Ian Zammit (Gżira) and Aleksandar Ribic (MFPA)

The match will kick-off at 7.30pm and will be live streamed on the Facebook Page IL-MIXJA SAR-REBĦA.
