Rest in Peace, Antonio Briguglio 🕊️

It is with great sadness that we learnt of the passing of Antonio Briguglio at the age of 91.

A true legend of Maltese football, Antonio dedicated his life to the game as one of the most respected referees this island has ever produced.

In 2017, his outstanding contribution to Maltese sport was rightfully recognised when he was inducted into the Hall of Fame of the Maltese Olympic Committee. 🏅

Our sincerest condolences go out to his family and loved ones at this difficult time. May he rest in peace. 🙏

More positive results from our young triathletes - Liam Daly, Aiden Muscat, Katie Anne Vella Wood and Mickaya Fava as they all made it to the podium in their respective categories in Tunisia!

Well done

🏆🇲🇹 AFRICAN CUP YOUTH AGE GROUP RACES – WHAT A MORNING! 🇲🇹🏆

What an incredible day of racing and a performance to remember from our young athletes!

🔥 Boys Race
Liam and Aiden exited the swim right on the heels of the race leader, but it was in transition where they made their move. Their lightning-fast skills saw them hit the bike course in front, and from there they never looked back.

💥 Liam delivered a dominant performance to take 1st Overall and 1st U17
💥 Aiden followed strongly for 2nd Overall and 2nd U17

A phenomenal one-two finish!

🔥 Girls Race
Mickaya came out of the water just behind the lead group, with Katie following shortly after. Once again, superb transitions proved decisive, with Mickaya heading onto the bike in 1st place and Katie in 5th.

As the race unfolded, both girls surged through the field. Entering the run they sat in 1st and 3rd, setting up a thrilling finale.

💥 Katie dug deep and produced an outstanding run to claim 1st Overall and 1st U15
💥 Mickaya fought brilliantly to secure 2nd Overall and 1st U13

🎉 Three overall victories.
🎉 Four age-group victories.
🎉 Three renditions of the Maltese National Anthem.

A proud moment for everyone involved.

Beyond the medals, we leave with valuable lessons, new connections, and the satisfaction of knowing these young athletes represented Malta with passion, determination, and pride.

👏 Bravo Liam, Aiden, Katie, and Mickaya!

The journey continues, and we're only getting started.

📈 Onwards and upwards! 🇲🇹💪
