Valletta Play Last Match With Average Age Of 20

May 3 2024

Valletta FC relied on their youthful talents in their final Premier League appearance, aiming for a swift return after relegation.

Buoyed by their young players’ contributions against Gudja United, the team bid farewell to the league with a victory, showcasing promise despite a disappointing season. Fielding their youngest-ever lineup, with an average age of just 20, Valletta included several Youth League champions in their squad.

Prior to kickoff, they paid tribute to former striker and coach Danilo Doncic. The match saw Valletta dominate, with goals from Shaun Dimech, Klose Azzopardi Conti, and Keyon Ewurum.

Although Gudja United managed to score, they struggled against Valletta’s youthful energy. Valletta’s victory, however, was overshadowed by their upcoming FA Trophy semifinal clash against Birkirkara.

Despite resting key players, Sliema comfortably defeated Sirens, with Danil Kondrakov scoring a brace and Neil Frendo adding another. The win marked Sliema’s 14th of the season, reaching the 50-point mark.

While the match lacked intensity, it provided valuable preparation for the upcoming semifinal showdown. Despite lineup changes, Sliema capitalized on a weakened Sirens side to secure a convincing victory.
