Edging towards salvation

REAL MALLORCA took a vital step towards securing their place in the First Division of La Liga at the weekend. The team beat Celta de Vigo away by 0‐1 thanks to a goal by Senegalese striker Am‐ath Ndiaye, which places Mallorca 10 points above the relega‐tion zone with nine games to go until the end of the season.

Javier Aguirre’s squad is currently in 11th place with 37 points, a comfortable distance away from Valencia CF with 27. However, the job is far from done, and last stretch of the sea‐son is guaranteed to keep fans on the edge of their seats.

Work began this week to improve drainage, re‐place paving, improve lighting and plant new trees in and around Calle Son Alemany in the Son Oliva area.
