By Officials and Coaches travelled in Wales

 

Hamrun Spartans FC Youth Nursery ended their commitments at the Welsh International Super Cup by winning two finals when participating with squads from the 1995 and 2000 categories. The contingent left on Saturday 24 July 2010 and returned to Malta on 31 July 2010.

 

The contingent was led by club officials Noel Debattista and Martin Bugeja, whilst Stefan Sultana, Paul Massa and James Cutajar were the coaches accompanying the players.

 

The experience for the Class E (1995) in the Welsh Super Cup under the guidance of Stefan Sultana was a very positive one. Considering that the squad consisted of boys born in 1995, together with others born in 1997, one must conclude that results obtained could not have been better. Competing abroad with same aged teams is not easy, therefore competing against boys who are one year, or in some cases more than a year, older, is no mean feat.

 

After a tough start, in which the U/15s suffered 3 defeats and a win from our first 4 matches, the team managed to rise to the occasion and ended to the tournament on a high, winning the next two games against tough opponents and managed to qualify for the challenge Cup final against Penparcau Magic, (equivalent to a final for the 3^rd and 4^th place). Here Hamrun had to face the team which had already been beaten 4-2 in the group stages. The game did not look like going in the right direction for Hamrun, having ended the first half 1-3 down, with 2 penalties against. However, the lads showed great character, raised their game and managed to equalize midway through the 2^nd half. In a dramatic finale, Hamrun managed to go into the lead in injury time. However, an incredible 3^rd penalty was awarded to Penparcau Magic who however was brilliantly saved by our keeper and Hamrun emerged winners with a final score of 4-3 and declared winners of the Challenge Cup.

The category Class J (2000) under the guidance of James Cutajar and Paul Massa won their final against Celtiaid with a 2-0 scoreline. One should also mention that Celtiaid won against Hamrun 4-0 in the group stage. The game was played under heavy rain but the boys in red still managed to win despite the circumstances. As in Class E, Hamrun played also against older boys but the kids’ performance was solid especially in the last three games. Though coming from a small island, the kids showed that with some more effort Hamrun could have made it further.  In this Tournament for categories Classes I, J, K and L (from 2001 to 1998), no winners were declared, calling the final matches as Red, Green and Blue matches.

It was an excellent adventure for Hamrun Spartans boys. They not only made their Nursery proud on the pitch, but also off the pitch with their exemplary behaviour. The level of maturity showed by the lads encourages the nursery to take part in similar tournaments, knowing that whatever the results on the pitch, they will always carry themselves with heads held high. They never got demoralised with some early tough results, but reacted this very positively and managed to end in a crescendo. In experiences like this one should not only look for the football benefits, but also at other aspects which contribute to the whole development of the players. And their respective coaches are sure the Welsh Super Cup 2010 will remain in their memories for a very long time.

 

The nursery is pleased of its success in the Wales International Super Cup, an event in which Steven Gerrard, Tomas Rosicky, Andriy Shevchenko, Owen Hargreaves, Michael Owen and Shay Given had previously participated. .

 

The group also had the opportunity to visit Old Trafford Stadium and Museum tour and took the spectacular Vale of Rheidol Railway tour.

Hamrun Spartans F.C. Youth Nursery is currently in Aberystwyth in Wales for the third time in four years in the Welsh International Super Cup, organised by Teams Tour Direct. Aberystwyth is a small town in Wales where it holds the Welsh University, making this town very popular with University students. The Nursery will be hoping to repeat last year’s success, when the 1999 category won the Shield in its category. This Tournament is one of the most popular in Britian, with many popular professional players playing in the Premier League making their appearance in younger days.

The group, consisting of 41 persons, including 13 parents, left Malta on Saturday afternoon to Manchester Airport before travelling to Wales by coach. Hamrun are participating with two categories, those born in 2000 (class J) and those born in 1995 (class E). Class J will be playing 4 group stage matches, while Class E will be playing 3 group stage matches. From then onwards the competition will continue on knock out stage, starting from the quarter finals, semi finals and finals.

These tournaments will serve our children to compete in a different ambience where the level and intense football is much higher than that which we are used to. The amount of participating teams is also noted. Teams come from all over the world with different categories. Malta, apart from Hamrun Spartans will participate also with Floriana and Pieta H. A most colourful opening ceremony was held on Sunday evening with all the participating teams accompanied by music and band.

The group will end the tournament on Friday with the finals and play off matches. Then Saturday is a free day were the group hopes to make a visit to Old Trafford Stadium in Manchester before returning to Malta on Sunday early morning. This will end another great experience for our kids on foriegn grounds where Hamrun Nursery have always scored good results, winning the Dana Cup some few years back as the best achievement outside the island.

Season 2009/2010 took off well with a good squad getting important points which positioned us with the top teams in the standings.

 

Towards the middle of the first round we suffered two defeats which gave us a setback in our aspirations, but eventually we came back on track with some good positive results, regaining the middle of the table.

 

Upon the start of the second round as happens always within this age group, A level exams started and certain players chose to focus more on their examinations rather than their training. However with the squad in hand we still managed to win certain games progressing in the Knock-Out Competition.

 

At the end of the season we failed from being promoted after the second defeat in a row against Qormi, which proved to be crucial for us. Therefore we turned our focus mainly on the Knock-Out Competition.

 

We made up for the disappointment we suffered of not gaining promotion for Section A by winning the Knock-Out Competition.

 

All in all we had a satisfactory season. We introduced 6 players from the Under 17 squad to make up for those missing players who were focusing on their exams and this proved to be the balance we needed in the team to be competitive enough to win the season’s last competition.

 

This gives us enough confidence in building up next season’s squad, our main objective to be once again the promotion into Section A. Certain players were called up with Hamrun Spartans Premier League Squad and with the experience gained will promise an encouraging future.

 

This encouraged the Nursery in their aims to produce young players who eventually make it to the Senior team.

Our Under 17s had quite a positive season. Considering all, I believe that we could have challenged for the league without some important injuries which effected our season drastically. No team managed to obtain a double against us. We achieved very good wins against Hibernians, Valletta and Floriana while getting doubles over Balzan, Naxxar, San Gwann and Melita.  

 

However, we had a team which could have given eventual League winners Valletta a good run for their money had not the injury to our goalkeeper occurred. A four month stop for our first goalkeeper meant that we had to play some of our games with an emergency goalkeeper as even our reserve goalkeeper was not available. Only towards the end of the league we managed to recuperate our main keeper when it was too late.  

 

Still, our team played some very positive football, with our attack being one of the most prolific while even managing to finish as one of the teams who suffered least goals. Some surprising results, a defeat in the first round against Rabat and a draw in the second vs Qormi proved detrimental to our chances of challenging for the title till the end. This season’s was one of the most balanced in recent years, with four or five teams challenging for the final honour till midway of the second round. The most consistent team, Valletta, eventually won the league. 

 

I’m sure that considering the majority of this year’s squad will keep playing in Under 17s for next season, we will be able to challenge more strongly in next season’s campaign.

 

 

Season 2009/2010 Under 17 Squad

 

Next week's article: Overview Season 2009/2010 - MFA Youth League Under 19 by Coach Alex Azzopardi.....

 

_______________________________________________

By Coach Marco Grech (UEFA B Licence)

 

Season 2009/10 took off with the pre-season training commencing on the first week of August 2009. Training consisted of 4 weeks of preparations for the beginning of the Youth Football Association League. As part of our pre-season we took part in the pre-season tournament organised by our Nursery in late August. From this tournament we had the first indications that our squad was going to be a competitive one with the aim of obtaining a high standing.

 

At the beginning of the season upon the start of the league games we were unfortunate in having a minimum number of players in our squad due to injuries and sickness. Therefore the beginning proved to be quite a difficult one which gained us only one point in the first four games.

 

However after that, we managed to recover some of our players. This enabled us to gain precious points in a positive run of 12 games without defeat, thus recovering the initial disadvantage and ranking 3^rd place in league.

 

Upon gaining this placing our objective was to strengthen our position in 3^rd place and in trying to aim higher, where even for some moments we came in 2^nd place. At this stage our main objectives were either to challenge for the league or to remain in the present position so as to qualify for the Youth FA Knock-Out Competition.

 

Upon having these chances we unfortunately suffered the loss of two important players to our team, and despite difficulty, when facing Birkirkara in a crucial stage in the season, we still managed in playing a very good game with the only disappointment being the loss of the three points.

 

After this game the remaining objective was to retain the 3^rd place in order to participate in the Youth FA Knock-Out Competition. Though knowing that it was not going to be easy, the team-work and the determination shown by the players enabled us to finish our campaign in the 3^rd place, thus reaching one of our objectives.

 

We closed the end of season by drawing to play against the actual League Winners, Pieta in the Knock-Out Competition. It was a balanced game producing good football, a game that could have ended either way, but to which we had to accept a defeat of 2-1.

 

All in all when one analyses the whole season, although we failed to win one of the main honours of the Youth FA, still one should be satisfied with the general performance of the whole team. One should note the dedication shown by the players during training and on the field of play was one that enhanced this success and we are convinced that within this squad we have promising talent for the future.

 

I conclude by showing my appreciation towards the whole squad for their co-operation throughout the season. It was a pleasure working with this group.

The 1995 Category spent a weekend Live in at the Ta Qali Satadium. Coach Alex Cutajar gave us his comments on this experience who had James Cutajar and Gilbert Camilleri as his assitants.

 

We are back home tired but very satisfied after a fantastic 3 day live-in, at the Ta’ Qali M.F.A National technical Centre with the 1995 squad. We passed the three days as follows;

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Friday 3^rd April, 2009

 

We arrived at Ta’Qali at 4.30pm, assigned the rooms to the players and at 5.30 p.m. we conducted a training session on the beautiful grass of the Ta’Qali training grounds. We ate dinner and at 7.45pm, we organized a mass in commemoration of Our Lady of Sorrows day. Rev Joseph Abela conducted the mass, and the young players paid attention to his sermon, since the reverend talked down to their level. Later on, we played Table tennis, billiard and watched T.V. It was hard to get the lads to bed in view of their energy and enthusiasm.

 

 

 

Saturday 4^th.April, 2009

 

Breakfast was over by 8.20 am. Conducted a pre match talk in the conference room and played a friendly match against Floriana at the training grounds. We had an excellent performance were we outplayed our adversaries and finished winners by six goals to one. Straightaway after the match, we went to the National stadium pool were the lads relaxed in the pool, relaxed is not the exact word, dived and raced after each other in the pool up to lunch. At 12pm, they ate hungrily lunch.  At 2.30 pm, we met again and watched the two premier league games at Ta’Qali, which turned out to be our only blemish in these 3 days, since we saw our senior side being trounced 5-1 by Tarxien. Immediately after, we ate dinner, then prepared ourselves to go out to Bugibba, were we watched a film at the cinema. Upon our return, overtired, the boys slept immediately.

 

 

 

 

Sunday 5^th.April, 2009

 

Ate breakfast at 7.45 am, and again conducted a pre match talk in the conference room. Went down to the training grounds playing two matches from 9 am to 11.45 am against Melita and Naxxar Lions. Had two very good performances were we won our first match against Melita 7-1, but lost the 2^nd Match against Naxxar 1-0.  Naxxar scored against the run of play and we could not score, with 4 balls hitting the posts, goalkeeper beaten and various last ditch saves by their goalkeeper. However, our performance again here was very good. We ate lunch for the last time, everyone packed his suitcases again, and left for home with his parents at about 1.15 p.m

 

   

 

 

I have to remark that it was a pleasant experience and everyone behaved well and took part in all activities. This experience has gelled the group more into a team and hopefully will help our boys mature a little further, taking care of themselves and getting a little taste of  what it feels like to be a professional footballer.

Fejn tahseb li l-iktar li sar progress fin-nursery tal-Hamrun tul dawn l-ahhar snin?

 

Zgur li f’dan l-istagun rajna zvilupp kbir fil-facilitajiet, fejn issa permezz tal-ground synthetic ghandna post fejn it-tfal taghna jistghu jiehdu l-oghla livell ta’ tahrig fi ground eccellenti. Barra minn hekk inhoss li l-livell tal-coaches taghna tjieb, u anke peress li zdiedu t-tfal, awtomatikament tizdied il-kwalita’. Il-progress jidher u qieghed hemm biex kulhadd jista’ jhossu u jmissu b’idejh. Madankollu jkun zball jekk nahsbu li wasalna x’imkien. Irridu nkomplu naraw kif ha nibqghu nahdmu biex dan il-progress ikun sostnut.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

X'inhi l-opinjoni tieghek in generali dwar l-importanza tal-friendlies u partecipazzjoni f'festivals?

 

It-tnejn huma importanti, pero’ ma rridux naghtuhom mportanza zejda. Naturalment huwa tajjeb li tiehu sehem kemm fi friendlies kif ukoll f’festivals, ghax minn hemm tkun taf fejn ninsabu bhala livell ikkomparati ma’ nurseries ohra. Ma rridux naghtu importanza ghar-rizultati, imma fl-istess hin tkun tixtieq li taqta’ figura tajba. Ghandu jkun hemm c-cans li t-tfal jithallew jesprimu rwiehhom minghajr wisq pressjoni zejda, kemm min-naha tal-coaches, kif ukoll minn certi genituri, li bl-attitudni taghhom ma jaghmlux gid lit-tfal.

 

 

X'tahseb dwar il-partecipazzjoni tat-timijiet tan-nursery fil-festivals tal-Milied?

 

Nahseb li kollox ma’ kollox, kellna partecipazzjoni ta’ success. Kwazi kull fejn morna niehdu qtajna figura tajba kemm bhala rizultati, kif ukoll bhala prestazzjonjiet. Ma jfissirx li m’hemmx fejn intejbu l-affarijiet, imma bil-mod naslu wkoll. Zgur li l-qofol ta’ dawn il-festivals li hadna sehem fihom kien is-success li kisbet l-iskwarda tal-1995 (Under 14) fit-tournament ta’ B’Kara, mhux biss minhabba r-rebha finali, u ghax dan huwa festival ta’ livell gholi fejn jiehdu sehem fih l-aqwa nurseries ta’ Malta. Huwa mportanti wkoll, ghax fl-eta’ ta’ 13-il sena wiehed jibda jaghti ftit aktar importanza lejn ir-rizultati, aktar min etajiet izghar, minhabba l-fatt li fl-istagun li gej dawn it-tfal se jiehdu sehem fil-kampjonat nazzjonali ta’ l-Under 15, organizzat mill-Youth FA.

 

 

X'tahseb li huma l-kwalitajiet l-iktar importanti biex player jaghmel il-grad?

 

Hemm hafna kwalitajiet li meta tghaqqadhom kollha ma’ xulxin jaghmlu plejer. L-ewwelmett wiehed irid ikollu t-talent. Minghajr dik, jaghmel x’jaghmel, ma jistax ikun plejer ta’ l-oghla livell. Barra min hekk, irid ikun umli u dejjem lest biex jitghallem u jisma’ l-pariri tal-coaches tieghu li zgur jistghu jghinuh jizviluppa t-talenti tieghu.  Fl-ahharnett, nixtieq nghid li ghalkemm plejer jurik min eta’ zghira li jista’ jaghmel il-grad, ikun hawn ohrajn li jizviluppaw it-talenti taghhom aktar tard, u ghalhekk hadd ma jrid jaqta’ qalbu.

 

 

X'tixtieq tara iktar mill-coaches fin-nursery tal-Hamrun?

 

Il-coaches taghna ghandhom dejjem izommu rwiehhom aggornati mal-loghba moderna tal-lum u jaghmlu minn kollox biex joffru ambjent stimulanti lit-tfal taghna fit-training fejn it-tfal dejjem jigu ghat-training b’hegga u energija lesti biex jitghallmu. Qatt m’ghandha tonqos id-dedikazzjoni taghhom lejn it-tfal ghax meta wiehed ikun ippreparat zgur li ha jaghmel xogholu ahjar.

 

 

X'suggerimenti tixtieq tghaddi lill-kumitat tan-nursery?

 

Lill-kumitat tan-nursery nirringrazzjah minn qalbi ghax-xoghol kbir li jaghmlu b’tant dedikazzjoni, u fuq kollox b’mod volontarju minghajr ebda hlas. Ghal min xi kultant igerger ghall-kumitat, nissuggerilu biex jidhol hu wkoll fil-kumitat biex ighin, ghaliex l-ehfef haga hi li tmaqdar imma meta tigi biex tghaddi ghall-fatti tkun storja ohra. Nahseb li l-kumitat ghandu bzonn l-ghajnuna ta’ kulhadd, u ghandu jkun lest li jaccetta l-ghajnuna m’ghand min genwinament lest li jaghtihielu.

 

 

X'inhuma l-miri tieghek ghal dan l-istagun u fejn tixtieq taghmel l-iktar enfasi?

 

L-enfasi ghandha tkun dejjem fuq l-izvilupp tat-tifel individwalment, specjalment fl-etajiet iz-zghar (sa taht il-11 il sena) filwaqt li aktar ma jikbru t-tfal ghandha tibda tinghata aktar importanza lejn it-tim u lejn l-impostazzjoni tat-tfal fil-pitch fejn jibdew jitghallmu ceru affarijiet basici ta’ tattika f’tim.

Barra minn hekk irridu nkomplu nattiraw lejna coaches tajbin, u aktar tfal biex awtomatikament joghla l-livell tan-nursery taghna.

 

Fuq livell ta’ kampjonati tal-YFA il-miri taghna huma cari. Li niksbu post lura f’Sezzjoni A fl-Under 17 (ma jidhirx li se tkun problema), u fl-Under 19 (se tkun difficli ghax hemm kompetizzjoni qawwija, izda mexjin tajjeb s’issa) u li nzommu f’Sezzjoni A fl-Under 15 (s’issa mexjin tajjeb pero’ hemm hafna timijiet ta’ l-istess livell u kulhadd jaghtik loghba)

 

 

L-appell tieghek lill-genituri u lit-tfal.

 

L-appell tieghi hu li jsegwu lit-tfal u jaraw il-progress taghhom ghax din hi xi haga importanti li ssir. Pero’ ma jridux jitfghu pressjoni zejda fuq it-tfal taghhom b’hafna ghajjat li jtellef u mhux ighin lil uliedhom. Nifhem, u din hi xi haga li tghallimt m’ghand Fr. Hilary li ghandu esperjenza kbira f’dan il-qasam, li HADD ma jhobb lit-tfal daqs il-genituri taghhom. Pero’ xi kultant din l-imhabba “zejda” ma thallihomx jirragunaw b’mod bilancjat x’inhu l-ahjar ghat-tfal taghhom. Nixtieq nghidilhom, li ladarba t-tfal iwassluhom in-nursery, hemm dawn ma jibqghux it-tfal taghhom, imma ghandhom ihallu f’idejn il-coaches x’inhu l-ahjar ghal uliedhom.

 

 

1. Fejn tahseb li l-iktar li sar progress fin-nursery tal-Hamrun tul dawn l-ahhar snin?

In-nursery taghna f'dawn l-ahhar snin ghamlet progress kbir minn diversi aspetti. Ghamilna progress fil-kwantita' tat-tfal, fil-kwalita' ta tahrig li jinghataw it-tfal mill-coaching staff taghna li hawn ukoll ghamilna progress kemm fil-kwantita kif ukoll fil-kwalita', f'dik li hija organizzazzjoni amministrattiva fejn ghandha grupp ta nies li apparti li jahdmu b'mohhhom jahdmu mill-qalb, organizzazzjoni ta' tournaments li huma meqjusa bhala ta' livell gholi minn kullhadd, partecipazzjoni b'success f'tournaments lokali kif ukoll barra minn Malta, fid-dehra taghna fejn jidhol il-kit li jibsu t-tfal taghna. Dawn kienu ftit punti rigward il-progress kontinwu li qed taghmel in-nursery taghna pero l-aktar progress li ghamlet in-nursery taghna f'dawn l-ahhar snin kienu zewg fatturi principali. L-ewwel l-progress li sar fejn jidhlu l-facilitajiet fejn jittrenjaw it-tfal, fejn issa ilna ghal diversi snin nittrenjaw fuq haxix naturali jew haxix sintetiku ovvjament issa kemm ilu li sar sintetiku l-ground il-kbir issa nistghu nghidu li ahna wahda mill-ahjar nurseries fejn jidhlu l-facilitajiet xi haga li se tkompli sservina biex nkomplu nattiraw tfal godda lejn in-nursery taghna u biex it-tfal taghna jkunu jistghu jkomplu juru l-ahjar abilitajiet taghhom. Pero l-aktar fattur li ghamilna progress fih u li permezz t'hekk in-nursery taghna meqjusa bhala wahda mill-ahjar nurseries ta Malta hija R-RISPETT kbir li n-nursery taghna llum il-gurnata tgawdi minn nurseries ohra. Dan ma kienx facli biex akkwistajnieh, dan hu frott tal-hidma kontinwa li sar f'dawn l-ahhar snin minn kull min kien involut, spicca z-zmien fejn min jkun se jilghab kontra xi kategorija minn taghna jkollu f'mohhu li se jirbah zgur, illum il-gurnata kullhadd ihares lejna b'certu RISPETT ghax jaf li se jilghab kontra nursery organizzata mzejna bi tfal li ghandhom talent u taghlim tajjeb, il-gap li kien hemm bejnna u bejn l-hekk imsejha nurseries kbar dak naqqasnih drastikament u llum il-gurnata nerga nghid ahna wahda mill-ahjar nurseries li hawn fil-pajjiz. Issa huwa ferm importanti li nkomplu nahdmu biex dan IR-RISPETT miksub nkomplu ngawduh.

 

2. X'inhi l-opinjoni tieghek in generali dwar l-importanza tal-friendlies u partecipazzjoni f'festivals?

 

L-objettiv principali tan-nursery huwa li ahna nharrgu t-tfal taghna biex ikomplu jaghmlu progress fl-abiltajiet teknici taghhom kif ukoll biex iktar ma jikbru jitghallmu wkoll jkunu tattikament dixxiplinati biex fl-ahharnett ahna nkunu nistghu nforrnu lit-tim il-kbir bl-ahjar elementi possibli. Biex dan isir, apparti it-tahrig, it-tfal taghna huwa mportanti li gradwalment u skond l-abilta' taghhom jippartecipaw kemm fi friendlies kif ukoll f'tournaments. Dan ghaliex fl-ahhar mill-ahhar l-ahjar tahrig li jista' jiehu t-tifel hija l-loghba. Importanti li t-tfal jilghabu fil-livell skond l-abilta' taghhom ghalhekk ghanda ssir distinzjoni, fejn ghandu jkun hemm friendly festivals fejn hemm hekk l-objettiv principali jkun biex jippartecipa kullhadd halli l-kowc jkun jista' jiggudika l-progress tat-tfal li jkun qed iharreg. U ghandna wkoll nippartecipaw f'tournaments kompetittivi fejn hemm hekk nippartecipaw bl-ahjar elementi possibli biex lil dawn it-tfal ntuhom sens ta kompettizzjoni xi haga li ovvjament jridu jiffaccjaw jekk Alla jrid jaghmlu l-grad.

 

 

3. X'tahseb dwar il-partecipazzjoni tat-timijiet tan-nursery fil-festivals tal-Milied?

 

Ovvjament kif spjegajt fit-twegiba tieghi fuq il-mistoqsija precedenti, dan kien perjodu fejn ahna wara l-ewwel fazi ta dan l-istagun nkunu nistghu nevalwaw il-progress tat-timijiet taghna biex b'hekk nkunu nistghu naraw fejn irridu nikkonsolidaw u ntejbu fejn ghandna tajjeb kif ukoll nahdmu iktar fejn ghandna mhux daqstant tajjeb.

Meta tara l-partecipazzjoni tat-tfal taghna f'dawn it-tournaments wiehed jikkonkludi li qeghdin fit-triq it-tajba, u jekk nkomplu nahdmu bil-ghaqal zgur li l-futur tal-Hamrun Spartans hu wiehed sabih.

 

 

4. X'tahseb li huma l-kwalitajiet l-iktar importanti biex player jaghmel il-grad?

 

Id-determinazzjoni u x-xewqa li jitghallem, karrattru sod u edukat, umilta' u onesta.

 

 

5. X'tixtieq tara iktar mill-coaches fin-nursery tal-Hamrun?

 

Nixtieq nara li l-coaches taghna l-hin kollu jipprovaw dejjem jaggornaw ruhhom u jfittxu biex jaghmlu s-sessjonijiet tat- tahrig taghhom interessanti u attrajenti biex ikomplu jtejbu l-kwalitajiet tat-tfal. Permezz ta' tahrig ta' kwalita', il-coaches ikunu qed jghollu l-personalita' taghhom u jekk jiksbu r-rispett tat-tfal, il-coaches jkunu jistghu iserrhu rashom li id-dixxiplina necessarja biex tmexxi t-tfal tigi wahedha. Importanti li l-coaches wara xi loghob li tkun laghbet il-kategorija taghhom jkunu kapaci jevalwaw kemm xogholhom kif ukoll il-progress tat-tfal. Nixtieq nara wkoll li l-coaches jiehdu iktar inizzjattiva mhux biss f'organizazzjoni ta' loghob u festivals imma kif ukoll f'attivitajiet socjali u kulturali biex b'hekk naghmlu n-nursery taghna aktar attrajenti u permezz tal-kelma mxerrda nkunu nistghu nattiraw tfal godda ta' certu kwalita'.

 

 

6. X'suggerimenti tixtieq tghaddi lill-kumitat tan-nursery?

 

Il-kumitat taghhna nixtieq nghidlu biex jkompli jahdem bil-hegga u d-deteminazzjoni li dejjem hadem biha u ta' dan minn qalbi nixtieq nirringrazzjahom kollha ta' din il-hidma voluntarja u sfieqa li jaghmlu ghall-gid tat-tfal taghna. Nissugerilhom biex ikomplu jahdmu halli nibdew il-progett biex intejbu l-premises taghna biex flimkien mal-facilitajiet ezistenti jkollna premises li veru jixirqilna li bihom nkomplu nghollu l-isem tan-Nursery taghna. Suggeriment iehor u ferm importanti li jahdmu hafna biex naghmlu laqghat spissi mal-genituri tat-tfal biex nispjegawlhom ezatt x'inhu r-rwol tal-genitur fin-nursery, biex b'hekk nedukaw il-genituri, halli dawn jkunu jafu x'inhuma d-drittijiet u dmirijiet tat-tfal taghhom, jekk jirnexxilna nahdmu iktar fuq dan il-lat inkunu qed nikkontribwixxu biex jkollna ambjent iktar edukat u trankwill.

 

 

7. X'inhuma l-miri tieghek ghal dan l-istagun u fejn tixtieq taghmel l-iktar enfasi?

 

Jien in-nursery nhobb naqsama fi tlett taqsimiet. L-ewwel taqsima tikkonsisti fit-tlett kategoriji li jipparticipaw fil-kampjonati tal-M.F.A. u l-Y.F.A. Hawnhekk il-miri taghna huma li l-U/19's nkomplu nahdmu maghhom biex dejjem nhejjuhom tajjeb ghal meta jigu msejha mal-kbar xi haga li f'dawn l-ahhar snin rajna kemm il-darba zaghzagh taghna jiddebuttaw mat-tim tal- kbar u l-objettiv l-iehor hu li niksbu l-promozzjoni ghal Section A. L-U/17's nistghu nghidu li l-objettivi taghhom huma simili bhal tal-U/19's jigifieri li niksbu l-promozzjoni ghal Section A. u li jkomplu jaghmlu progress biex ikabbru c-cansijiet taghhom li jaghmlu l-grad. Il-15's l-objettiv principali taghhom hu li jkomplu jikkompetu b'success biex b'hekk nikkonsolidaw postna f'Section A u li jkomplu jitharrgu bis-serjeta' biex ikunu preparati tajjeb ghal meta jilghabu f'livell oghla.

 

It-tieni taqsima hija wahda mill-aktar importanti fejn fiha nkopru l-maggoranza tan-nursery taghna.Hawnhekk il-miri taghna ghandhom jkunu li naraw lit-tfal jkomplu jaghmlu progress fuq bazi individwali f'dawk li huma abilitajiet teknici, kif ukoll bl-iktar mod semplici, intuhom bazi ta dixxiplina tattika. Jekk naghmlu xoghol tajjeb f'din it-taqsima, allura nkunu qed nipproducu elementi tajbin biex b'hekk nkunu dejjem nistghu nippartecipaw b'mod kompettitiv fil-kampjonati li semmejt qabel. It-tielet taqsima hija dik li jien inhobb nsejhilha l-intrata tan-nursery taghna fejn fiha nilqghu l-izghar elementi taghna. Hawnhekk il-miri taghna huma delikati hafna ghax hawnhekk irridu naraw li lit-tfal nilqawghhom b'tali mod li it-tfal mill-ewwel ihossuhom 'at home' u bl-aktar mod semplici u attrajenti ngeghluhom ihobbu l-loghba u naraw li qed jigu ghax qed jiehdu pjacir. F'dan l-istadju hekk bikri, irridu ukoll li naghmlu hilitna kollha li it-tfal ntuhom sens kbir ta' bilanc u koordinazzjoni biex b'hekk naghmlulhom it-triq facli ghal meta jigu biex jidhlu fit-tieni taqsima. Jien nixtieq li l-akbar enfasi taghna ghandha tkun immirata lejn il-kwalita' ta' tahrig li ahna kapaci naghtu lit-tfal taghna. Jekk ahna kapaci noffru l-ahjar tahrig lit-tfal taghna allura nkunu mexjin fid-direzzjoni t-tajba.

 

 

8. L-appell tieghek lill-genituri u lit-tfal.

 

Lill-genituri sinceriment nixtieq nappellalhom biex huma jifhmu ezattament x'inhu l-irwol taghhom fin-nursery u li filwaqt nitlobhom jikkoperaw maghna u li jkollhom fiducja fina. Nitlob ukoll bhal ma dejjem ghamilt biex jekk ikun hemm xi affarijiet li fl-opinjoni taghhom mhumiex sejrin tajjeb jigu quddiemna halli bl-aktar mod civili niddiskutu l-ilmenti taghhom u naraw kif nohorgu bl-ahjar soluzzjonijiet. Lit-tfal nappellalhom biex l-ewwel jigu biex jiehdu pjacir, biex ikunu determinati li jitghallmu u, kif diga' ghidt qabel, jitghallmu jkunu edukati, onesti u umli.

 

Niehu l-okkazzjoni biex nawgura S-SENA T-TAJBA LILL KULLHADD.

 

Hamrun Spartans FC have taken advantage of the break from football as an opportunity to upgrade its facilities at the Victor Tedesco Stadium.

A FIFA 2 Star-approved artificial turf pitch is being laid, a new floodlighting system is being installed and the area next to the scoreboard is being embellished. These improvements will be of great benefit to the club and its nursery. It will also benefit Maltese football in general as football is expected to be played uninterruptedly even during the period when Ta’ Qali and Hibs Ground are being re-seeded in Autumn.

The improvements are partly financed by the UEFA through MFA, government, private investors and the football club itself. A number of volunteers are also working on the embellishments.

As from next season, the nursery will be entitled for a number of hours per day to make use of the main pitch. The nursery would therefore be able to boast that it is offering the best facilities on the islands as its players would be training on a pitch where top-level football is being played. It is to be noted that the five-a-side pitch, exclusively used by the nursery, has also been re-surfaced with newly-laid artificial turf.

The new pitch is expected to be laid by end of July and its inauguration is expected to be in early August. Hamrun Spartans FC invites anyone who would like to view the improvements being done to contact the club through email on [email protected] or by contacting any member of the Executive Committee or Nursery Committee.

President Kumitat Esekuttiv

Eccellenza Arcisqof Monsinjur Pawlu Cremona,

Nilqghuk fostna l-Hamrunizi f'dan iz-zmien ta' celebrazzjoni. Grazzi li ghogbok tilqa' l-istedina taghna biex tiftah dawn l-attivitajiet li se jsiru kongunti bejn il-Kumitat Esekuttiv, in-Nursery u l-Kumitat tas-Supporters tal-Hamrun Spartans Football Club.

Kull wiehed u wahda minna jista' jhares lejn l-istorja tal-club taghna u jitghallem. F'dawn il-mitt sena, il-club taghna kellhu zmien ta' ferh u zmien ta' dizappunti. Biss, minkejja kull ostaklu li seta' ltaqgha mieghu, baqa' dejjem ghaddej. Din hi l-ikbar taghlima li nistghu niehdu lkoll, li bhall dan il-club taghna, qatt ma ghandna naqtghu qalbna. U bhal ma jigri waqt loghba football, meta lkoll nigbdu flimkien, katina wahda, zgur nimxu 'l quddiem.

Ahna, l-amministraturi qed naghmlu minn kollox sabiex dan il-club immexxuh fit-triq it-tajba. U meta nharsu lejn dawn it-tfal zgur li l-ewwel hsibijiet li jiguna f’mohhna huma, it-taghlim tal-Fair Play u mbaghad l-imhabba lejn il-kuluri tal-Club. Dawn, flimkien, jghinu mhux ftit sabiex ibieghedu kull hazen li jistghu jiltaqghu mieghu fil-hajja taghhom ta’ kuljum. Sfortunatament, f’dawn l-ahhar snin, qed nisimghu hafna kazi fid-dinja tal-football li qed jeqirdu hafna mis-sabih ta’ dan l-isport. U hawn, jien kburi, bhala President ta’ dan il-Club, li tul dan l-ahhar snin, ittiehdu decizjonijiet mill-club taghna sabiex naccertaw li l-loghba tal-football tkun wahda nadifa u milghuba bi spirtu sportiv, minn irgiel ta' valuri sodi. B’hekk inkunu qed nghinu ukoll biex ghada ikollna socjeta nadifa u cittadini onesti. Huwa ghalhekk li t-team taghna tal-Premier, huwa mimli bi players li trabbew fil-Hamrun  u ghandhom imhabba lejn il-flokk iswed u ahmar. Minn hawn nappella lill-players sabiex ikomplu mexjin fid-direzzjoni li qbadna dan l-istagun u jwarrbu kull tentazzjoni li tista' tigi quddiemhom. Nappellaw ukoll lis-supporters sabiex ma jirrikorrux ghal tghajjir u vjolenza, izda ghal support favur it-team taghna. 

Irridu ukoll li dan il-club naghmluh 'accountable'. Il-finanzi li trid biex tmexxi club bhal taghna huma sostanzjali u parti minnhom jigu mis-supporters li ghandhom fiducja ghamja f'dawk li jmexxu l-Club. Ghalhekk, ahna irridu nirrispondu billi nuzaw dawn il-finanzi ghall-gid tal-club. Il-flus, sfortunatament, kull ma jaghddi z-zmien, qed jiehdu iktar prijorita' fil-hajja u ta’ spiss tara players jiccaqalqu minn ma' club ghall-iehor, semplicement fuq kwistjoni ta' finanzi. Minn hawn  nappella lill-players u lil genituri tat-tfal tan-nursery sabiex igibu quddiem ghajnejhom l-imhabba lejn pajjizhom u lejn it-tim taghhom, fejn din taf  iggib sodisfazzjon ferm hafna iktar minn semplicement sodisfazzjon materjali.

Nistieden lill-Hamrunizi kollha sabiex iktar tard jaraw il-progetti ambizzjuzi li ghandna bhala Club. Nehtiegu l-ghajnuna ta' kullhadd, pero' ninsab fiducjuz li flimkien, b'sens qawwi ta' kommunita', naslu.

Naghlaq billi nerga' nirringrazzja lill-Eccellenza Monsinjur Arcisqof  tal-prezenza tieghu fostna.

 
Chairman Nursery

Eccellenza Monsinjur Arcisqof

F’isem shabi tal-Kumitat, fil-prezenza ta’ ufficjali ta’ l-Assocjazzjoni tal-Football u tas-Sinjura Bajada, huwa ta’ unur ghalina li nilqghuk f‘Centru Tony Bajada, ic-Centru fejn ta’ kulljum jilqa numru sabih ta’ tfal, subien u bniet, biex jithargu fil-loghba tal-football.

Bhala Nursery tal-Football, ahna nhaddnu diversi valuri. L-ewwel valur huwa li mat-tfal dejjem nheggu il-pozittiv, sew fir-rebh u anki  fit-telf. Huwa essenzjali li fil-hajja nitghallmu mill-izbalji biex, jekk naqaw, nqumu  iktar b'sahhitna.

Ahna, kif qal tajjeb il-President, nahdmu hafna u naghmlu minn kollox sabiex nghinu lit-tfal isiru irgiel u nisa b'valuri sodi, li jkunu kapaci jaffrontaw l-isfidi, kemm fuq il-pitch u kif ukoll barra. U hawn fejn ahna naccertaw li l-coaches li qed iharrgu lil dawn it-tfal u zaghzagh huma, l-ewwel u qabel kollox, nies ta' integrita'.

Bhal kull nursery ohra, ahna qeghdin nghinu sabiex ikollna socjeta' iktar b’sahhitha. L-importanza, ta' kemm qed ikollna tfal li qed jikbru iktar b'sahhithom u 'fit' xi kulltant tigi sottovalutata.

Bhala nursery, ahna ukoll ghandna progett iehor, progett sabiex ikollna Centru ikbar u iktar attrezzat biex ikun jista jilqgha fih in-numru ta’ tfal li kull ma jmur dejjem qed jizdied, tfal li qed jazghlu n-Nursery taghna sabiex jithargu. Sfortunatament, minbarra l-Museum, ftit huma l-postijiet fil-Hamrun fejn jingabru z-zaghzagh f'ambjent tajjeb. Ghalhekk, irridu nahdmu halli dan ic-Centru inkabbruh f’post ahjar, post li jbieghed lit-tfal minn vizzji ohra. Irridu, li dan ic-Centru isir Centru taz-zaghzagh, Centru, mhux biss ta’ Nursery tal-football, imma Nursery ta’ Komunita zaghzugha Hamruniza, halli dejjem inkabbru fit-tfal taghna il-valuri li semmejna u l-imhabba li ghandna lejn il-Hamrun. Hawnhekk nixtieq nappella, b’mod specjali lil genituri, biex jghatuna l-ghajnuna u s-sapport taghhom sabiex l-ghan taghna ta’ dan il-Progett jintlahaq.

Naghlaq billi nirringrazzjza lil siehbi, l-mibki Tony Bajada, li bhal dan iz-zmien ghoxrin sena, gietu l-ideja u hajjarni biex ninghaqad mieghu biex niffurmaw din in-Nursery. Illum, wara dan iz-zmien, jien flimkien ma shabi nhossu sodisfazzjon kbir bil-gid li sar fost iz-zaghzagh Hamrunizi.

Dan l-istagun, bhall-ohrajn ta’ qablu, in-Nursery ngaggat xejn inqas minn hmistax -il coach ikkwalifikat, fejn gew ippreparati matul ix-xhur tas-sajf dwar il-programm tat-tahrig. Ta’ min jinnota li zewg players regolari mill-iskwadra tal-kbar, kienu parti mill-istaff tekniku. Is-sur Ronnie Attard, ghadda l-esperjenza tieghu lill-istaff, kif ukoll, minbarra li mexxa l-iskwadra tal-Minors, ippartecipa fit-tahrig ta’ diversi kategoriji ohra.

Kompetizzjonijiet…Leagues Nazzjonali, Tournaments u Festivals:                                                                                     

 

Bhal dejjem in-Nursery taghna hadet sehem fil-kampjonati u festivals kollha Nazzjonali organizzati minn The Youth FA, fejn flimkien ma dawn kellha ukoll ir-responsabbilta ta’ dawk tal-Youths under 18 ta’ l-MFA. Ma’ dawn, u biex tkompli fuq li halliet fl-istaguni ta’ qabel u dejjem tgholli l-livell tat-tfal kollha, in-Nursery ippartecipat f’madwar 45 tournament u festival li giet mistiedna ghalih minn diversi nurseries Maltin u Ghawdxin. Dettalji ta’ dawn jidhru hawn taht:  

                                                                                       

Kampjonati /Festivals The YFA:

 

  Kategorija                     Organizzatur            Sezzjoni           Post Finali             Nru. ta’ Partiti

L-under 14, nistghu nghidu li kellhom stagun brillanti, fejn spiccaw fit-tieni post u promossi ghal sezzjoni ‘A’. Huma waslu wkoll sas-semi-finali tan-Knock Out, fejn kienu sfortunati li nqalghu wara l-ghoti tal-penalties. 

 

Fit-tieni stagun taghhom f’sezzjoni ‘A’, l-U16, kellhom stagun sodisfacenti fejn spiccaw fis-sitt pozizzjoni.

 

L-under 18 ghalkemm ma kienux konsistenti fil-loghob taghhom, matul l-istagun, irnexxielhom jispiccaw fir-raba’ pozizzjoni u waslu sas-semi finali tan-Knock Out fejn ukoll inqalghu bl-ghoti tal-penalties. Il-pozizzjoni taghhom fil-klassifika, kienet l-ahjar wahda wara diversi snin.

 

Bil-promozzjoni tal-kategorija U/14 ghal sezzjoni A, issa, l-kategoriji kollha tan-Nursery ser jikkompetu fl-ghola sezzjonijiet tal-Youth Football f’Malta fl-istagun li gej. Dan is-success, li nkiseb wara perjodu ta’ hames snin, kien wiehed mir-rigali li t-tfal tan-Nursery taw lil Club taghna fil-mixja lejn il-mitt sena.

 

Nistghu nghidu b’wiccna minn quddiem li, dawn it-tliet skwadri,  mhux biss ghamlulna unur, izda bl-impenn taghhom, dan l-istagun, ghinuna nilhqu l-objettivi taghna li pprogrammajna tlett snin ilu.

                                                                                                           

 

Tournaments u Festivals:

 

Kif ghidt aktar ‘il fuq, in-Nursery, dan l-istagun ippartecipat f’numru kbir ta’ tournaments u football festivals organizzati minn diversi nurseries, fejn ghaldaqstant kull gimgha kellna xi kategorija jew ohra qed tippartecipa. Dan kompla gholla l-livell mhux ftit, tant, li bi pjacir  insemmi li l-kategoriji kollha rebhu xi tournament jew festival li ppartecipajna fihom fosthom dik prestiggjuza, l-Malta Cup.  

In-Nursery taghna giet mistiedna minn dawn in-nurseries:

B’Kara, Dingli Sw., Floriana, Gudja Utd, Lija/Iklin, Kirkop Utd., Mellieha, Mosta, Mqabba, Paola H., Pieta’ H, Rabat D., Qormi, San Gwann, Sliema W., St.Andrews, St.Patrick, St.Venera, Tarxien R. u Valletta.

Barra minn hekk in-nurseries ta’ Mellieha, St.Patrick, Tarxien, St Andrews u Floriana stednuna wkoll ghal nofs ta’ nhar fun games, b’diversi kategoriji, fil-grounds rispettivi taghhom.

 

Mawra f’Aberystwyth, Wales

 

Nhar it-22 ta’ Lulju, tas-sena l-ohra, kontingent ta’ tfal, coaches u genituri ta’ madwar 83, hallew Malta biex jippartecipaw f’Tournament F’Wales. Apparti l-esperjenza li akkwistaw, it-tfal taghna gabu ukoll rizultati sodisfacenti. Ta’ unur kien il-fatt li n-Nursery gabet lura maghha il-Fair Play Overall Trophy ta’ dan it-Tournament.

 

Tournaments, Festivals organizzati

 

Hu fatt maghruf ma’ kulhadd li n-Nursery taghna illum il-gurnata hija meqjusa bhala wahda mill-ahjar biex torganizza tournaments u festivals ta’ livell gholi u din is-sena ma naqsitx fejn fid-9 ta’ Dicembru organizzat it-Tmien Firetech Football Festival, is-sitt ‘Tony Bajada Memorial’ Globalair Tournament fil-granet ta’ l-Ghid u t-tielet U/11 Football Festival fl-ewwel ta’ Mejju li din is-sena kien sponsorjat minn Sports Experience u Ital Green. Ta’ sodisfazzjon kien ir-rebh tal-kategorija ta’ taht il-11–il sena f’wiehed minn f’dawn it-tournaments taghna. Dawn it-tournaments u festivals issa nistghu nghidu li dahlu sew fil-kalendarju tan-Nurseries f’Malta u Ghawdex.

 

Il-kumitat jinsab sodisfatt hafna li rnexxielu jintroduci players godda f’dawn il-kampjonati u tournaments fejn spikkat id-dedikazzjoni u d-dixxiplina tal-players, b’mertu kbir imur ghall-esperjenza tal-coaches rispettivi taghhom u b’mod specjali ghal headcoaches, Stafan Sultana u Marco Grech. Ta’ min isemmi li n-Nursery, dan l-istagun, regghet investiet f’akkwisti ta’ xejn inqas minn tmien players zghazagh, li whud minnhom kienu b’self, fejn minbarra li ghinu mhux ftit biex inkisbu dawn ir-rizultati, zgur li jistghu ikunu ta’ benificcju kbir fil-futur ghall-Club tal-Hamrun Spartans jekk jirnexxielna nzommuhom maghna. 

                                                                                                                        

Man. City – Arsenal

 

F’zewg okkazjonijiet differenti, fix-xahar ta’ Mejju, zewg coaches mic-Centru Tekniku ta’ Manchester City u tnejn ohra minn dak ta’ Arsenal zaru n-Nursery taghna waqt sessjonijiet ta’ tahrig fil-Victor Tedesco Stadium. Ta’ sodisfazzjon kien il-fatt li l-erba’ coaches kienu impressjonati bit-tahrig tal-coaches taghna. Il-kuntatt ma dawn il-coaches se jkompli fl-istagun li gej.

 

Futur sabih ghat-tfal taghna

 

Bl-ghajnuna tal-Coach, Atanas Marinov, dan l-istagun rajna numru sabih ta’ players zghazagh, anki mill-iskwadra ta’ taht is-16 –il sena, jaghmlu l-grad ma’ l-ewwel hdax tal-Hamrun Spartans fl-ewwel Divizjoni. Dan wera kemm il-Club illum qed jemmen izjed fit-talenti ta’ dawn iz-zghazagh li qed johorgu min-Nursery.

 

Certament, hu sodisfazzjon, li tara xejn inqas minn 19 –il player minn skwadra ta’ 22, fit-team tal-kbar, prodotti tan-Nursery taghna. 

Ta’ min ifahhar lil l-Kumitat Ezekuttiv li dan l-istagun baqa’ ghaddej bl-istess hsieb li jibni l-iskwadra tal-kbar biz-zghazagh madwar ohrajn ta’ esperjenza. Zgur li l-fiducja li ntweriet f’dawn iz-zghazagh mill-Kumitat Ezekuttiv, tat l-ispinta u l-kuragg lil tfal ohra li matul l-istagun talbu u gew jirregistraw man-Nursery. Il-fiducja f’dawn iz-zghazagh uriet ukoll li n-Nursery taghna hadmet mhux ftit fil-passat biex wasslet lil dawn it-tfal sal-quccata. Meta tghaqqad dan kollu mal-progress li sar fin-Nursery dan l-istagun, wiehed malajr jinduna li l-futur taz-zghazagh taghna jidher sabih hafna.

Tajjeb li wiehed jiftakar li xejn inqas minn erba players li hargu min-Nursery, bhalissa qed jiffurmaw parti mill-iskwadra Nazzjonali ta’ taht il-21.

 

Team tal-Futsal

 

Bil-permess tal-Kumitat Ezekuttiv, in-Nursery hadet l-inizjattiva biex tibda l-preparamenti u jigi ffurmat team tal-5-a-side, bl-isem ta’ Hamrun Spartans biex jikkompeti fil-kampjonat Nazzjonali tal-Futsal fl-istagun li gej. Din l-idea giet bil-hsieb li, players li johorgu min-Nursery li ma jaghmlux il-grad mat-team tal-kbar, jiehdu l-opportunita jilghabu mal-Club taghna f’dan il-kampjonat.

 

Skema ta’ Sahha

 

Dan l-istagun bdejna skema ta’ sahha ghal-players taghna fejn kull tifel jghaddi minn test mill-physio tan-Nursery biex jghin nevitaw kemm jista jkun ‘injuries’ li l-players taghna jistghu jghaddu minnhom fil-futur. Qed jinfetah file lil kull player biex meta jasal ghall-ghola grad, il-Club ikollu r-record necessarju tal-prodotti tan-Nursery.

                                                                                         

Ftehim mal-Kunsill Lokali

B’dan il-ftehim, ukoll, il-Kunsill Lokali se jghin lin-Nursery direttament fit-trasport li jintuza matul l-istagun, kif ukoll se jkun wiehed mill-isponsors fit-tournament Tony Bajada Memorial.

Segretarja ‘part time’

 

Bix-xoghol fis-segretarjat tan-Nursery dejjem jizdied, in-Nursery impjegat segretarja ‘part time’, sabiex dan ix-xoghol jitmexxa b’aktar efficjenza. Max-xoghol tan-Nursery din tat kontibut siewi ferm fil-bord tal-membership. Hi attendiet darba fil-gimgha, kull nhar ta’ Sibt filghodu matul l-istagun kollu. Jidher li din l-ideja irnexxiet u qed taghti l-frott taghha.

 

‘A Success of a Nursery’

 

F’Lulju, The Youth FA ghazlet lin-Nursery taghna biex tindirizza seminar dwar kif ghandha titmexxa amministrazzjoni ta’ Nursery, bit tema, ‘A Success of a Nursery’. F’dan is-seminar il-Kumitat hejja prezentazzjoni tajba hafna fejn spjega kif l-amministrazzjoni tan-Nursery tal-Hamrun, matul iz-zmien giet trasformata ghal wahda mill-aqwa. Kien ta’ sodisfazzjon u unur ghalina li l-Assocjazzjoni ghazlet lin-Nursery taghna biex tindirizza dan is-Seminar.

Website

 

Minn dan l-istagun, in-Nursery ghandha il-Website taghha. Is-sur Paul Borg, supporter akkanit Hamruniz, kien avvicina lil Kumitat fejn talbu biex tigi iffurmata din il-website. Nistghu nghidu li din il-Website, ghalkemm ghadha fit-twelid taghha, illum diga saret wahda mill-aktar aggornata.

F’dawn it-tnax –il xahar li ghaddew il-kumitat hadem hafna fuq l-izvilupp tac-Centru u propju bhalissa qed nistennew biex fi ftit gimghat ohra nibdew bil-kostruzzjoni ta’ l-ewwel fazi fejn se jigi msaqqaf il-parti ta’ quddiem il-bar. Dan il-progett ambizzjuz ghandu jghin lill-Kumitat jippjana ahjar it-triq li tkompli ssahhah il-futur tan-Nursery. Tajjeb insemmu li llum, sena u nofs wara li n-Nursery imxiet ghal dan ic-Centru l-gdid, minnbarra li issa saret parti hajja fil-Kumpless li qed tipproduci, qed jidher car kemm dan il-pass kien ghaqli, fejn diga qed jaghti l-frott mixtieq.

Ringrazzjamenti

 

Fi tmiem ta’ dan ir-rapport wiehed jinnota lista shiha u sabiha ta’ Ditti li f’dan l-istagun li ghadu kemm spicca, ghogobhom joffru l-ghajnuna finanzjarja taghhom lil Hamrun Spartans Youth Nursery. Zgur li ma kienetx xi haga facli biex ingabru dawn l-isponsors, pero dan, ukoll huwa rizultat ta’ kumitat li hadem b’ghan wiehed ghal gid tat-tfal. Nahseb l-ikbar grazzi li nistghu naghtu lil dawn id-Ditti hija billi nuzaw is-servizzi u nixtru l-prodotti taghhom. Ma’ dawn nixtieq nirringrazzja sinjuri donaturi ohra, li minn zmien ghal zmien jikkonribwixxu xi haga zghira wkoll. Importanti li r-ringrazzjamenti jmorru wkoll lill-Kumitat Ezekuttiv u l-Ground Management Board tal-kooperazzjoni u s-sapport li taw lin-Nursery fejn setghu, matul l-istagun. Nirringrazzja ukoll lil The Youth FA u l-Kumitat ta’ l-Amatuer, Youths and Grassroots. Fuq kollox nirringrazzja lill-membri kollha tal-Kumitat tan-Nursery, li, ddedikaw parti kbira mill-hin taghhom u tal-familja biex jghadduh ghal-gid tat-tfal taghna.              

 

 

Konkluzjoni:

 

Fl-ewwel laqghat taghna li kellna f’Lulju mal-Head coaches, fost affarijiet ohra, tkellimna fuq l-importanza li n-Nursery taghna tkompli miexja biex terga tkun fil-quccata u ssostni s-serjeta’ u l-kwalita.  Illum, fi tmiem ta’ l-istagun, inhoss li lhaqna zewg objettivi importanti; li l-iskwadri kollha jinsabu f’sezzjoni ‘A’ u li numru sodisfacenti ta’ players qed jithargu fic-Centru Tekniku f’ Ta’ Qali.

Zgur, li dawn it-tnejn f’daqqa kienu fatturi importanti biex aktar players ghamlu l-grad mat-team tal-Kbar. Issa, li l-Club taghna jinsab lura fil-Premier, in-Nursery qed thares lejn il-futur b’impenn akbar. U hawn fejn in-Nursery, flimkien mal-Kumitat Ezekuttiv, irridu nibqghu nahdmu id, f’id, kif ghamilna f’dawn l-ahhar snin biex nippjanaw fit-tul, u mhux sa mnieherna. Il-pacenzja hija importanti, ghax b’hekk biss nistghu xi darba nergghu nqumu fuq saqajna u nxejru l-bnadar tal-Hamrun Spartans.

 

 

GRAZZI.

The Victor Tedesco Stadium, in the heart of Hamrun, is an oasis for sports lovers.  The stadium was inaugurated in 1996 masterminded by the legendary Spartans’ president Victor Tedesco.  The sports complex initially gave a boost to the Spartans and their numerous enthusiastic supporters.   

However, nagging management problems, accumulated with rising maintenance expenses have impeded the further development of this complex.   An action committee led by Rev. Anton Portelli and Ron Attard, two stalwarts that produced the golden team of the magical eighties, is hard at work to procure the necessary capital.   The aim is to resurface the playing surface with artificial football turf and install a new floodlighting system.   The prospects for success in Hamrun are excellent given that the complex boasts a prime location added to a stadium structure.   

Early response is very encouraging and it seems that once the ball gets moving it will produce a snowball effect with all Hamrun supporters giving their contribution. Surely the first to make the most of this sports centre will be the over 200 promising youngsters which the club nursery is producing.

During a Press Conference at ‘Centru Tony Bajada’ at the Hamrun Spartans Sports Complex held on Saturday, an agreement has been signed between the Hamrun Local Council and Hamrun Spartans FC Youth Nursery in which residents of Hamrun will from next season benefit through Educational Sport in developing their children’s talents.

 

In opening the Conference, Dr Luciano Busuttil, Major of Hamrun Local Council, said that by means of this agreement the Hamrun Local Council binds to finance the entrance fee of all children residing in Hamrun who desire to register with Hamrun Spartans FC Youth Nursery as from next season.

 

To upgrade the formation through sports of the youths at the Hamrun Nursery, the Local Council will also finance educational and cultural outings of the Nursery next season.  

 

Hamrun Local Council will again, be one of the main sponsors in this year’s ‘Tony Bajada Memorial’ Football Tournament which is going to be held at the Victor Tedesco Stadium between the 4th and 10th of April. This sponsor now has been in the Hamrun Local Council’s calendar for these couple of seasons. In return the local Council will have access to all sports facilities at the Hamrun Sports Complex, during the year, for the Hamrun residents. Dr. Busuttil said that it was his pleasure to announce that this agreement was unanimously welcomed by all the Hamrun Local Council members. Closing his address, he said that this clearly shows that the Hamrun Local Council was and will always be the Council, who has first thoughts on developing the talents and gentlemen formation of the future generation in Hamrun.    

 

Prior to signing of the contract, Mr. Victor Cassar, Chairman of the Nursery, said that today the Local Council and the Nursery have teamed up to strengthen the work which is being done at the moment within the Club.

Praising Dr. Luciano Busuttil on behalf of the Council, for this initiative, Mr. Ludovico Micallef said that now he expects other Local Councils to follow the steps of the Hamrun Local Council.  

 

On winding up the Press Conference, Mr. Gaetano Cuschieri, Hamrun Spartans FC President, thanked the Hamrun Local Council and said he was very glad hearing that the Club’s Nursery has the full support of all the Council Members and is now confident that the well organized Hamrun Nursery Committee will continue to contribute more talented players for the first team of Hamrun Spartans.

Under 11 - Malta Cup winners

by Karl Matthew Debattista

After two hard days of football played at the HAM Ground in the Malta Cup Tournament, our Under 11 team managed to win the final over our neighbours Pieta H with the score of 1-0.

It was a balanced match which could have been won or lost any time. But four minutes from time RODNEY REFALO managed to score the winning goal. It was a very fast action, which started on the right-hand side. Refalo managed to pass two opposite defenders, come in front of the Pieta goaler and shoot a very strong ball towards goal.

Which put our numerous supporters in to party!

From four trophies that could be won, our team managed to win three of them, the winners trophy, the overall FairPlay award and the best goaler of the tournament.

Well done boys .. And keep it up... !
