The VMFA Cisk Premier League is shaping up to be one of the most thrilling seasons in years. Gżira United Veterans, Floriana FC Veterans, and MFPA are all tied at the top of the table on 15 points. A weekend packed with high-octane action saw big wins for several teams, setting the stage for some direct clashes next week.
Gżira United demolish Wolves
Gżira United FC Veterans delivered the standout performance of the round with a stunning 10-0 demolition of Żurrieq Wolves. Prolific forward Daniel Mariano Bueno stole the show with an incredible five-goal haul, cementing his reputation as one of the league’s deadliest strikers. Jean Pierre Mifsud Triganza was equally clinical, netting a hat-trick, while Pio Sciriha and Justin Grioli added one goal apiece to complete the rout.
Floriana bounce back
Floriana FC Veterans returned to winning ways with an emphatic 6-1 victory over Rabat Veterans. The Greens, determined to recover from their first loss of the season, dominated the match despite a spirited effort from Rabat. Glenn Bonello bagged a brace, while team captain Brian Said, Manolito Micallef, Gianluca Calabretta, and Emerson Amaira also found the back of the net. Rabat’s consolation came through Byron Fenech, but it was little more than a footnote in a game controlled by Floriana.
Birkirkara’s record-breaking win
Birkirkara Saint Helen Veterans FC produced a performance for the history books as they dismantled Hibernians FC Veterans 12-2. Ayrton Buhagiar was unplayable, scoring a staggering seven goals—a new record in the Veterans Malta Premier League. Federico Marine added a brace, while Jeffrey Chetcuti, Robert Perkins, and Daniel Cremona contributed one goal each. Hibernians managed to grab two goals through Ilia Nazarov and Steve Bonnici, but they were utterly overwhelmed by a relentless Birkirkara attack.
Walkover for MFPA
MFPA benefitted from a walkover victory against Żejtun Red Stars, keeping them level on points with Floriana and Gżira at the summit. The result ensures they remain well-positioned ahead of a crucial showdown next week.
Next week’s decisive fixtures
The league’s top four teams will face each other in a pivotal round of matches next week. Champions MFPA will host Floriana FC Veterans in a clash that could determine who takes control of the title race. Meanwhile, second-placed Birkirkara Saint Helen’s will lock horns with Gżira United Veterans in another highly anticipated encounter.
