Feb 20 2022

For the fourth consecutive time, Malta’s national waterpolo team qualified to the last phase of the European Championships which will be held in Split, Croatia this August.

The team, coached by Karl Izzo, managed to beat Ireland in their opening match, continued to ride the wave of victory. This time around, they beat the Lithuanian team 19 to 5, making the upcoming match against Romania a formality.

This is because their win over the Lithuanians gave them the required points to move on through the championships. The initial two sessions gave the Maltese two victories, one 5-2 and another 4-3.

However, the second phase of the game saw the Maltese rising to the occasion, going to seal the deal with a 19-5 victory. Jake Muscat and Matthew Zammit were Malta’s top scorers as they landed five goals each.

Plumpton, Abela, Dino and Nikolai Zammit, Galea and Gambin netted other goals throughout the match. Well done to the whole team and good luck for the rest!

Not just political rallies: Bernard Grech calls for restriction removal

Feb 20 2022

Addressing his own political event, Opposition leader Bernard Grech called for the removal of all COVID restrictions in all sectors and not just for political events.

This comes just after Prime Minister Robert Abela announcing the date for the general election – March 26th. In the Labour rally, Abela said that he wants Malta to return to full normality in spring.

This would mean that political events, which will start as of tomorrow, can take place as COVID restrictions begin to ease, with the aim of removing them all as summer approaches.

Bernard Grech stated that he expects the government under Abela’s administration to remove the restrictions from all sectors and not just political events.

This includes everything from feasts, to sports, arts and culture and even students and those wishing to see their loved ones or simply wanting to return to a life before the pandemic.
