Diga’ ghaddew kwazi hames xhur minn meta l-operat tal-klabb gie trasferit ghall-post il-gdid, u jidher li rnexxielna naghmlu din il-bida minghajr hafna skossi, fejn kollox baqa’ miexi b’ritmu tajjeb u minghajr interruzzjonijiet. Bdejna din l-avventura gdida billi organizzajna re-union ta’ players u membri tal-kumitat ta’ snin l-imghoddija, fejn xi whud anke hasbu ghal mument li ghadhom xi tletin u anke erbghin sena izghar, u ppruvaw jilaghbu l-futbol. Komplejna b’attivitajiet ohra kemm socjali kif ukoll sportivi, fosthom l-ewwel turnament tal-futbol – Mellieha Challenge Cup, li bil-kollaborazzjoni tal-Kunsill Lokali, hemm il-hsieb li jinzamm kull sena fil-pre-season. It-tahrig tal-players ta’ l-ewwel tim, tal-Youths, u issa anke tat-tfajliet beda u kompla jsir regolarment. L-istess f’dik li jirrigwarda lin-nursery tal-futbol, bit-tahrig jibda f’Ottubru, wara dak ta’ l-U/15 u U/17, li kien beda xahrejn qabel. Fil-grawnd bdew isiru ukoll loghbiet kompetittivi,bl-uzu wkoll tad-dressing rooms il-godda, biex s’issa diga’ ntlaghbu aktar minn hamsin loghba kompetittiva f’dan l-istagun, fuq il-pitch tal-haxix sintetiku. Tkompla wkoll it-tahrig tal-baseball, dejjem il-Hadd wara nofsinhar, barra li organizzaw ukoll l-‘Baseball Presentation Night’ ta’ l-Assocjazzjoni, fil-bar tal-kazin il-gdid. B’hekk jidher li qbadna ritmu tajjeb fl-operat ta’ dan il-post. Is-sala, fejn tpogga skrin kbir, diga, ntuzat f’seminar organizzat minn nursery tal-futbol. Saru gewwa fiha wkoll coffee mornings, kull l-ahhar Erbgha tax-xahar, kompetizzjonjiet tal-bixkla, u laqghat ghat-tfal u genituri, flimkien ma’ attivitajiet ohra. Fis-sala tal-biljard, qed isir loghob tas-snooker, fosthom anke kompetizzjonijiet organizzati mill-klabb taghna u mill-Kunsill Lokali. Fl-ufficini tal-amministrazzjoni dejjem ghaddejjin laqghat kemm tal-kumitat, kif ukoll ta’ sotto-kumitati ohra. Tlestew ukoll il-vetrini fejn tpoggew it-trofej u t-tazzi, li jixhdu l-istorja ta’ dan l-kazin. Il-bar il-gdid, mghammar b’sistema ta’ televizjoni tajba, huwa centru ta’ l-attivitajiet ta’ kuljum, fejn spiss tkun tinxtamm ir-riha ta’ xi fenek jinqela, jew xi platt spagetti, li issa saru sinonimi ma’ dan il-bar.

B’hekk jidher li qbadna ritmu tajjeb fl-operat ta’ dan il-post. Is-sala, fejn tpogga skrin kbir, diga, ntuzat f’seminar organizzat minn nursery tal-futbol.

Fl-ufficini tal-amministrazzjoni dejjem ghaddejjin laqghat kemm tal-kumitat, kif ukoll ta’ sotto-kumitati ohra.

Ghadna kemm bdejna sena gdida u nawguraw li dan ir-ritmu li qbadna, mhux biss inzommuh imma jkompli jikber u jzid. Fil-futbol, it-tim tal-kbar, diga’ spicca l-ewwel rawnd, meta qisna ghadna kemm bdejna l-istagun. Wara li ksibna l-kwalifikazzjoni fir-rawnd preliminarju tan-knock-out, irnexxielna nikkwalifikaw ukoll ghas-semi-finali, wara li fil-kwarti-finali rbahna 3-0 liz-Zebbug. Issa jmissna kontra z-Zejtun C., nhar l-10 ta’ Frar, u ninsabu ottimisti li nghaddu ghal-finali. Bil-loghob tajjeb li qed nuru, u bi ftit aktar sapport minn kulhadd, hemm cans tajjeb li nirrepetu s-success ta’ sitt snin ilu bir-rebh ta’ din it-Trophy. Dan l-istagun saret ukoll kompetizzjoni gdida li tfakkar il-100 sena ta’ futbol kompetittiv ta’ l-M.F.A. Bdejna b’loghba facli kontra Mdina Knights,[8-0], u rebha ohra kontra Zurrieq[2-1], li gabitilna polza impenjattiva kontra Hamrun Spartans tal-Premier Division. Rebhulna 4-1, izda t-tim taghna kellu wirja tajba, specjalment fl-ewwel siegha loghob, meta l-iskor kien ghadu 2-1. Fil-kampjonat kellna wirjiet kontrastanti, u ghalkemm it-tim hafna drabi laghab tajjebir-rizultati ma gewx kif xtaqna, u tlifna wisq punti prezzjuzi, biex issa ninsabu f’nofs il-klassifika, ’il boghod sewwa mill-ewwel posizzjonjiet, u xi ftit skomdi mhux wisq ‘l fuq minn dawk ta’ l-ahhar. Wara s-semi-finali tan-knock-out, nibdew it-tieni rawnd, fejn ghandi fiducja li ghandna mmorru ahjar mill-ewwel rawnd, nirbhu aktar punti, u nkomplu naghtu esperjenza lill-players zghazagh biex nahsbu wkoll ghall-futur ta’ dan it-tim. Kuragg u naslu!

mlh 2208

Ghadu kif spicca l-ewwel rawnd tat-tieni divizjoni, u t-tim Melliehi jinsab jokkupa l-hames post fil-klassifika b’14-il punt. Forsi wiehed kien jistenna xi haga ahjar dan l-istagun ghaliex l-iskwadra kienet tidher wahda kompetittiva, izda s’issa

l-fortuna ma dahkitilniex wisq, kemm bhala rizultati, kif ukoll f’dawk li huma injuries lill-players. Kien hemm loghob li tlifna u kellna ta’ l-inqas nakkwistaw draw, u ohrajn li ksibna draw, meta facilment stajna rbahna. Uhud mill-players li weggghu, kienu fost dawk regolari, u ghamlu tul ta’

zmien barra mil-loghob. Nittamaw li fit-tieni rawnd navvanzaw aktar il fuq fil-klassifika, u nitbeghdu kemm jista jkun malajr miz-zona tar-relegazzjoni.

Ladies Football Team It-tim tal-futbol tat-tfajliet laghab l-ewwel loghba ta’ hbiberija tieghu kontra dak ta’ Pieta Hotspurs fil-5-a-side pitch, nhar is-Sibt 9 ta, Jannar. L-iskor kien wiehed inkoragganti ghaliex il-loghba spiccat draw ta’ 5-5. Fil-loghab ippartecipaw 9 tfajliet Mellehin, u kellhom prestazzjoni tajba. It-tim Melliehi kien kuntent mhux biss bir-rizultat, izda l-aktar ghax hadu pjacir jilaghbu, f’din l-ewwel okkazjoni li kellhom, li juru l-progress taghhom fil-futbol. Taht id-direzzjoni tal-kowc David Fenech, assistit minn Kurt Buttigieg, it-tfajliet qeghdin jittrenjaw darba f’gimgha fil-5-a-side pitch. Ghalissa l-grupp hu limitat, u nixtiequ li aktar tfajliet u nisa jinghaqdu maghhom u jibdew jilaghbu l-futbol. Jekk jikber il-grupp, ikun possibbli li jibdew jilaghbu 11-a-side.

Nhar il-Gimgha, 22 ta’ Jannar, kellna serata ohra tal-Bixkla, abbinata ma’ fenkata, fis-sala tal-kazin il-gdid tal-Mellieha Sports Club.

Il-kompetizzjoni ntrebhet mit-tim ta’ l-iSports Club - Fredu [Virdis]/Sunny fejn fil-final ghelbu lil Mario[Kukka]/Joe(Zozi) mic-Centru Laburista, bl-iskor konvincenti ta’ 6 - 1. Ghar-rebbieha kienet tassew is-serata taghhom dak in-nhar, ghaliex wara li telghu ‘bye’ fl-ewwel rawnd, rebhu l-kwarti tal-finali, u s-semi-finali, 6 – 2 u 6 – 1 rispettivament. Hadu sehem tlettax-il tim, u kif wiehed jista jara mir-rizultati, kien hemm diversi konfronti akkaniti, li gew decizi fil-hdax-il loghba. Interessanti ferm kien hemm il-konfront bejn Eddie [Blu]/Grezzju [il-Platt] u Joe [Friggieri]/Joe [Zozi], b’dawn ta’ l-ahhar jirbhu wara li kienu 2 -5 minn taht. Kien dizappunt iehor ghal Eddie u Grezzju, li ghal darb’ohra nqalghu mill-ewwel rawnd. Ma tantx marru ahjar minnhom il-koppja Natalino / Charlie[Smitt] u Karmenu / Effie, li nqalghu fit-tieni rawnd. Sfortunatament rega’ kellna xi timijiet regolari nieqsa, minhabba li jew kienu xoghol jew kellhom impenji ohra. Niltaqghu tliet xhur ohra fil-kazin, wara li jsiru kompetizzjonijiet fic-Centru Laburista fi Frar u fl-Imperial Band Club f’Marzu.

MILIED 1963 , MELLIEHA – BALZAN 2 – 2

Mur ghidilhom lill-players ta’ llum, li ghandhom loghba futbol tal-league nhar il-Milied fl-10:30 ta’ filghodu! Kemm teqridilhom

il-mara, l-gharusa, jew ommhom minhabba l-ikla tal-familja f’nofs in-nhar, kif isir tradizzjonalment daz-zminijiet. Barra minn

hekk, ikun ifisser ukoll li l-player ma’ jkunx jista johrog lejliet il-Milied, ghax il-kowc ma jhallihx. Izda dari l-M.F.A. ma kienitx

tahsibha wisq biex tfaqqaghlek xi loghba nhar il-Milied.

Dak iz-zmien kien isir turnament fil-perjodu festiv, imsejjah ‘Christmas Tournee’, bejn tim barrani u timijiet tal-First Division

fil-Gzira Stadium, izda ma kienx jintlaghab necessarjament nhar il-Milied. Fix-Schreiber Ground kienet tintlaghab loghba ta’

beneficenza, imsejha Christmas Cup, bejn il-leaders taz-zewg sezzjonijiet tat-Tielet Divizjoni. Ghalkemm it-temp f’dawk il-

jiem tax-xitwa mhux dejjem kien jippermetti wisq loghob sabih, il-folla dejjem kienet tkun wahda mdaqqsa. Il-Mellieha hadu

sehem fiha darba u rbahniha fl-istagun 1972/73, kontra Naxxar 1-0, b’goal minn penalty, skurjat minn Alfred Vella (Iz-Zibda).

Illum ser infakkru il-loghba tal-league li ntlaghbet nhar il-Milied 1963, 46 sena ilu. Kienet il-hames loghba ta’ l-ewwel rawnd

tat-Tielet Divizjoni [It-Tieni Divizjoni ta’ llum], fl-istagun 1963/64, u ghall-Mellieha kienet fixture iebsa, ghaliex kien imisshom

kontra Balzan, wiehed mit-timijiet favoriti ghall-promozzjoni. Mill-ewwel erba’ loghbiet Mellieha kienu rebhu wahda biss,

kontra St.Andrew’s (Hal-Luqa), 1-0, b’goal skurjat minn John Muscat, li barra li kien footballer tajjeb, kien ukoll player famuz

tal-waterpolo mas-Sirens.

Nhar il-Milied 1963, inzertat gurnata sabiha u pjuttost shuna,

bit-temperatura tkun ferm oghla mill-medja, avolja l-Global warming

kien ghadu ma bediex. Konna diga’ hadna l-fama

bhala tim fizikament b’sahhtu, b’xi players teknikament tajbin, u

bhas-soltu f’loghbiet kontra avversarji ta’ kalibru, il-grinta Mellehija

dejjem tohrog, u kontra Balzan dehret sew. Balzan kif kien

mistenni hargu fuq l-attakk, izda d-difiza Mellehija zammet soda,

u l-kontrattakki taghna kienu insidjuzi, b’Edwin Vella fl-aqwa tieghu

bhala right wing. Fil-fatt kienu l-Mellieha li marru fil-vantagg

permezz ta’ John Grima, izda sal-mistrieh Balzan gabu d-draw.

Fit-tieni taqsima l-loghba baqghet ghaddejja bl-istess andament, u

Joe Grech rega’ pogga lill-Mellieha minn fuq. Hawn spikkat

id-difiza b’sahhitha Mellehija mmexxija mill-‘captain’ John Calleja,

bi Frans Xuereb u Kristinu Grima, sodi daqs kolonni ta’ l-irham.

Ftit minuti mit-tmiem, id-difensur ta’ Balzan, Mansueto, player goff u b’sahhtu, mess il-ballun b’idu fil-kaxxa l-kbira, u

l-Mellieha ipprotestaw bil-qawwa ghal penalty car. Ninu Frendo kompla jipprotesta vivacitament, izda r-referee baqa’ sod

fid-decizjoni tieghu, u Frendo kellu x-xorti li ma tkecciex. Dak iz-zmien ir-referee kien iwissik biss verbalment, ghaliex il-karti

sofor u homor ma kienux jezistu. Meta jkecci lil xi hadd kien biss jipponta subghajh lejn d-dressing room, u jghidlu “Barra!”.

Minuta mit-tmiem Mellieha kienu sfortunati, u qalghu l-gowl tad-draw, b’awto-gowl ta’ Frans Xuereb. Il-loghba spiccat 2-2,

biex bhal ma jigri spiss fil-futbol, flok ma hargu rebbihin, l-players taghna hargu ddizappuntati, minhabba decizjoni tar-

referee, u nissoponu li fl-ahhar ma hallewhx b’xejn. Ma nahsibx li tawh l-awguri tal-Milied minn qalbhom!

Hawn taht tidher il-formazzjoni tal-Mellieha, inkluz il-laqam jew kif kien maghruf il-player. Ta’ min jinnota li dak iz-zmien ma

kienx hemm sostituzzjonijiet.

Ninu Cutajar (Spejku), Frans Xuereb (Hardy), Guzi Borg (Tabakku), Joe Muscat (Fatty), John Calleja (Turlumbu), Kristinu

Grima (Qenduli), Edwin Vella (Gaganija), Joe Grech (Pepsi), John Grima (Karambolu), Ninu Frendu (Banjaw), Guzi Cutajar

(Friggieri).

Ir-rapport tal-loghba ttiehed minn fuq il-gazzetta ‘The Bullettin’, tas-26 ta’ Dicembru 1963.


The softball league has come to an end with the Mellieha Curves ending their first co-ed season in third place. Considering this was their first season, the team played some excellent games. They will now start preparing for the Female National Softball League scheduled to start at the end of February. This will be the first time an all female team from Mellieha will be participating in the softball league. The Northenders and the Rookies have completed their preseason training and are looking forward to their first league game of the 2010 season. They will be defending their championship titles in the first and second divisions respectively. In the meantime the youth sector continues to grow with more than 30 players registering with the nursery.

The Baseball & Softball Association also held its awards night at the Mellieha Sports Club and we are proud that a number of Mellieha players have won awards for the quality of play during the 2009 season. These are :

Under 15 Cadet league Brandon Muscat – Most Valuable Player

Under 19 Senior League Stephen Grima – Most Valuable Player

2nd division National Baseball League – Silvan Busuttil – Most Valuable Player

1st Division – Rookie of the Year – Stephen Borg

Good luck to all the teams for the 2010 season !

L-ewwel round tan-netball din is-

sena kwazi wasal fi tmiemu. Jonqos

loghba wahda li se tintlaghab fl-10

ta Frar kontra l-Atwood Wildcats.

F’Marzu jergghu jittellghu l-poloz u

jinghata bidu ghat-tieni rawnd li

jibqa’ sejjer sa Gunju. Nisperaw li

jkollna rizultati ahjar ghax ghalkemm

bdejna b’rebha, sofrejna telfa wara l-

ohra f’loghob li ghal hafna drabi

konna qeghdin minn fuq.
