They’re even on track for a remarkable quintuple crown for the first time.

Jokovic’s three early goals and Younger’s contributions helped secure the win. San Ġiljan led throughout the match, with Sliema catching up three times.

Despite a tense first session, San Ġiljan maintained a slight lead.

The second session saw fewer goals due to rushed shots, and the woodwork saved San Ġiljan from a potential goal.

Jokovic’s goal increased their lead, but Sliema fought back. Younger’s goal reestablished the lead before halftime. The match remained closely contested, even when Sliema had advantages.

Maltese Cross Features In Netflix Series ‘At Home With The Furys’

Aug 21 2023

The recently released ‘At Home With The Furys’, which details heavyweight champion Tyson Fury’s retirement from boxing, featured a familiar cameo for us Maltese.

During episode 7, which has Tyson Fury and his wife on vacation in Cannes France, the Maltese cross features for a brief moment as a flag flows in the air on the boat they are on.

The flag appears behind the couple as they enjoy some food and drink together.

Meanwhile, the series itself was massively praised by critics for its depiction on mental health, as it showed the boxer’s day to day struggles.

This is due to Fury being diagnosed with bipolar back in 2017, with the athlete struggling with depression, anxiety and substance abuse with alcohol and cocaine.

The nine-episode reality series, released earlier this week, follows the heavyweight world champion as he retires from boxing and embraces family life.
