Under 17s Beaten by Valletta

After losing to league leaders Paola Hibs last weekend, Birkirkara were pitted against Valletta, who are in second place and still much in the fight for the title. It was surely a very difficult game for our boys, but faired pretty well until the opening goal arrived. From then on it was an uphill struggle in order to get back into the match, something which did not materialise with the Citizens sealing the victory with two more goals in the second half.

Disappointing Draw For Under 17s

Birkirkara Under 17s featured in a 2-2 draw against lowly side Melita at the Rabat Ajax Ground on Sunday, a result which mirrored the rather average performance from the Stripes. Although our boys never gave up and managed to salvage at least a point in the dying moments of the match, they could not impose themselves as many would have expected them to do. This game left the Stripes' clan disappointed, both with the result and, moreso, with the performance.
