STAGUN TA’ KUNTRASTI (Sodisfazzjon u Dizappunti ) Dan l-istagun tal-futbol jidher li ser ikompli bl-istess inkonsistennzi li kellna sa mill-bidu tieghu, fejn fil-fazi preliminari tan-Knock-out, ghalkemm fi tliet loghbiet ma tlifniex, u ma qlajna ebda goal, xorta wahda kellna nsofru ddizappunt li ma nikkwalifikawx ma l-ahhar tmienja.

Ikkonkludejna li billi kellna skwadra mibdula din riedet aktar zmien biex taqbel flimkien. Il-bidu tal-kampjonat rega’ tana ssodisfazzjon ta’ erba’ loghbiet minghajr telfa, tliet rebhiet u draw, u bdejna nahsbu li sibna saqajna, u t-tim beda gej f’tieghu, tant li kien jokkupa pozizzjoni gholja.

Wara giet telfa ma Melita, li regghet fethet sensiela ta’ telfiet dizappuntanti fejn minn seba’ loghbiet hadna biss draw ma St. Venera, u nzilna l-isfel sew fil-klassifika.

Bdejna ninkwetaw li ser nidhlu fit-taqtiegha tar-relegation, u f’Jannar iddecidejna li nakkwistaw zewg players biex nissodaw it-tim. Infetthu tamiet godda wara li rbahna zewg loghiet tattieni round kontra Naxxar u Mgarr, izda l-andament baqa listess, ghax ergajna zlaqna kontra Birzebbuga. Rebhiet ohra kontra Marsa u Melita, tellawna fir-raba’ post, izda telfa ohra ma St.Venera, u draw ma Zebbug, ikkonfermaw l-inkonsistenza li kellna tul l-istagun kollu.

Dan kien kif zvolga s’issa dan il-kampjonat ta’ kuntrasti, ta’ tlugh u nzul, ta’ rebh u telf, ta’ sodisfazzjon u dizappunti. Ftit minn kollox biex issa nisperaw f’rizultati ahjar fl-ahhar erba’ loghbiet ta’ l-istagun (qieghed nikteb qabel il-loghba kontra Balzan), biex fi zmien gimghat ohra il-kampjonat jintemm.

Sadanittant komplejna bix-xogholijiet fuq il-kumpless sportiv, fejn kwazi lestejna x-xoghol kollu fuq id-dressing rooms ilgodda. Bnejna wkoll sala gdida fejn jitpogga il-billiard, u hloqna xi terrazzin ferm utli minn fejn wiehed ikun jista jsegwi l-loghob, kemm fuq il-ground principali, kif ukoll fil-5-a-side.

gratlu hsara estensiva fil-maltemp tal-bidu ta’ Marzu, u ghal xi zmien kellna ndawwru l-attenzjoni taghna biex insewwu din ilhsara, grazzi wkoll ghal xi whud li gew jaghtu daqqa t’id, kif ukoll bl-intervent siewi tas-Sindku Robert Cutajar.

Ta’ sodisfazzjon ukoll kienet l-inawgurazzzjoni tal-grawnd principali bil-haxix artificjali, li saret nhar l-10 ta’ Frar, missegretarju parlamentari fil-Ministeru taz-Zghazagh u Sport, isSur Clyde Puli. Attendew ukoll Membri Parlamentari, ilPresident u delegazzjoni tal-M.F.A., is-Sindku u kunsilliera talMellieha, il-Kappillan, ic-Chairman, u c-Chief Executive talKunsill Malti ghall-iSports, u hafna mistednin distinti ohra.

Anke hawn kellna d-dizappunt li minhabba l-incident li kien involut fih il-kuntrattur xi xhur ilu, certu xoghol importanti ma lahaqx tlesta kif suppost, fosthom nuqqas ta’ materjal fuq ilwicc, biex ikun jista jiffunzjona ahjar’ u finishing mad-dawra u truf tat-tapit.

Lanqas ma lahqu gew erba’ settijiet ta’ lasti zghar biex jintuzaw mit-tfal tan-nursery tal-futbol. Dawn issa gew ordnati ghand supplier iehor, u mistennija jaslu u jintremaw dalwaqt. (mistennija li jkunu f’posthom ghall-attivita tal-penalty shoootout li ser issir fit-18 t’April.). Din l-attivita’ organizzata millkumitat tan-nursrey tal-futbol, ghall-ewwel darba, ser issir filghaxija, u fid-dawl artificjali. Hu mahsub li ser tkun festa ta’ futbol, bil-partecipazzjoni mhux biss tat-tfal, imma wkoll talgenituri, ta’ ex-players Mellehin, flimkien ma ex-players internazzjonali Maltin, u anke bil-partecipazzjoni ta’ ‘ball juggler’ maghruf barrani, li ser jingieb apposta ghal din lokkazzjoni.

Nawguraw li din l-attivita tkun success u tpatti xi ftit ghaddizappunti kollha li kellna matul dan l-istagun.

Qed jitkompla wkoll ix-xoghol ta’ kisi, dawl u ilma, madum u aperturi ta’ l-aluminium, fuq il-parti fejn gej il-Bar il-gdid, fejn lestejna wkoll kcina li qed tigi armata, u qed isir ukoll xoghol ta’ tlestija fuq din il-parti.

Hawnhekk ukoll id-dizappunti ma naqsux, fejn kellna lisfortuna li parti sewwa mill-fence li jdawwar il-5-a-side pitch,

WAYNE BORG ST.JOHN – 100 GOAL

MELLIEHI

Nhar il-Hadd l-1 ta’ Marzu, fil-loghba kontra Marsa, li rbahna 3-0, inkitbet pagna ohra sabiha fl-istorja talfutbol Melliehi, meta l-player Wayne Borg St.John, skorja l-mitt goal personali tieghu ghal Mellieha. Dan ittragward hu tassew favoluz meta tqis li Wayne ghadu m’ghalaqx 25 sena (twieled 25 /04/84.), u li dawn ilgoals skurjahom f’191 loghba.

Hekk kif spiccat il-loghba, fil-ground stess, Wayne imdawwar mill-players shabu, gie ipprezentat missegretarju tal-klabb Sunny Abela, ghan-nom tal-kumitat, bi flokk tat-tim bil-kliem ‘Wayne Borg St.John - 100 Goals’, bhala tifkira tal-okkazzjoni.

Wayne iddebutta mal-Mellieha fl-istagun 2000/01, fil-loghba kontra Dingli (1-0), meta kien ghad kellu 16-il sena. Huwa baqa’ jilghab regolarment u barra li spicca 5 darbiet top-scorer tal-klabb, rebah ukoll il-Footballer of the Year tliet darbiet. Huwa kien sfortunat l-istagun l-iehor meta f’nofs l-istagun, wegga’ serjament flirkoppa, u dam kwazi tmien xhur barra mill-loghob. In-nuqqas tieghu nhass ferm dak l-istagun, li konna flEwwel divizjoni u gejna relegati. Fortunatament, kemm ghalih personali, kif ukoll ghat-tim Melliehi, Wayne jidher li rritorna ghall- forma regolari tieghu, u l-goals tieghu regghu qeghdin ighinu biex il-Mellieha jkomplu javvanzaw fil-klassifika.

Il-100 goal ta’ Borg St.John gew skurjati f’dawn l-istaguni:2000/01 – 4 2001/02 – 6 2002/03 – 9 2003/04 – 15 2004/05 – 20 2005/06 – 19 2006/07 – 17, 2007/08 – 4, 2008/09 – 6

MALTEMP JAGHMEL HSARA FIL-5-A-SIDE PITCH. Ir-riefnu li ghamel fil-lejl ta’ l-4 ta’ Marzu, ghamel hsara konsiderevoli fil-5-a-side pitch li tammonta ghal eluf ta’ euro. Wiehed mill-hitan tal-perimetru tal-pitch, waqa’ b’konsegwenza li gibed mieghu l-pajpijiet tal-fence ghal fuq it-turf artificjali. Mieghu naturalment waqghet ukoll ix-xibka l-gholja li taghlaq il-grawnd.

Fortunatament ma saritx hsara fil-wicc tal-pitch, u t-turf sintetiku baqa’ intatt.

Minnufih beda x-xoghol minn membri tal-kumitat, li naddfu it-tifrik li kien hemm, sabiex il-hajt rega mbena, din id-darba doppju u aktar b’sahhtu. Twahhlu wkoll il-pajpijiet, u issa jonqos li jitpogga l-fence u x-xibka, minn kuntratturi specjalizzati. Nirringrazzjaw lil dawk li ghenu sabiex il-grawnd jerga jkun ghad-dispozizzjoni tad-dilettanti fi zmien qasir, fosthom lil Ray Bartolo, u lis-Sindku Robert Cutajar li baghat zewg haddiema talKunsill Lokali, sabiex jghinuna ghal jumejn.

Sadanittant il-loghob li kien isir fil-5-a-side issa qieghed jintlaghab fil-grawnd il-kbir, billi jintuza nofs ilgrawnd, naturalment wara t-taining. Il-grawnd il-kbir qieghed jinkera wkoll ghall-loghob (full-pitch), meta ma jkunx hemm training, filwaqt li qieghed jintuza regolarment mill-M.F.A. fil-week-ends, ghal-loghob kompetittiv tal-Youths.

SPORTS/THERAPEUTIC MASSAGE Most people, at some time in their lives, have experienced injury either from playing sport, back-ache from the type of work they do, ‘twisted’ an ankle whilst walking the dog or ‘pulled’ a muscle when digging in the garden!! These forms of injury can impede our daily quality of life; they especially interrupt our ability to play our favourite sport.

Massage should play a very important part in any training programme alongside warming up and cooling down. Through massage we can remove the build-up of general aches and pains that most sportspersons seem either to accept due to their gradual increase in intensity and durations in their programmes, or try to suppress with pain-relieving drugs. Unfortunately these aches and pains can lead to more serious problems, and so the benefits of sports massage lie in injury prevention.

Sports massage is believed to boost performance and endurance by 20%. This should enable the sportsperson to perform better for a longer period of time, as well as lowering the stress levels placed upon their bodies. Therefore, regular sports massage can help avoid overuse injuries and traumas, as well as being a medium for monitoring results. This form of ‘hands-on’ therapy gives valuable information on not only the sportspersons condition but also the effects of their training programme.

Sports massage: Increases tissue permeability - improving the removal of waste products such as lactic acid.

Improves tissue elasticity - muscle effort makes tissues hard and inelastic Breaks down scar tissue - scar tissue may be present as a result of past injuries, deep friction returns normal tissue tension.

Stretches - muscles, tendons and fascia that cannot be reached by other means.

Pain reduction - endorphins are released reducing pain and muscle tension.

Maintains the entire body in a better physical condition Prevents injuries and loss of mobility Cures and restores mobility to injured muscles Boosts sporting performance and endurance Extends the good health of the sportsperson With this type of massage please ensure that the therapist is a fully qualified and experienced Sports Therapist, to ensure that no further injury is incurred.

Mellieħa Northenders Baseball Club Northenders Unbeaten The Melleiha Northenders ended a record season run by winning all of their 12 games during the regular season. This is a national record as no team had yet ended the season without a loss. It is now up to the Northenders to complete their winning streak by winning the next two games in the Championship Series.

The Northenders will be facing the Mustangs in the Championship Series hoping to continue with their unbeaten record for the season. Missing from the team will be Michael Bartolo who has been released by the Mellieha team to play in the Italian Serie B league in Parma.

On the other hand the Mustangs are also expected to have a number of their team missing due to the players flying back home for their own regular baseball leagues. This should make the matchup an interesting one.

The second division team Mellieha Rookies also ended the season successful by placing second in their division. Manager Ray Bartolo said this is a good start for the team as many of the players are still young. The team has also been working on the youth section and this year has a U18 and U14 teams playing in the national leagues. Further investment in the youth section is being made through the tee ball program. This program has attracted young players of the ages 4 to 9 years.

With this setup, the Mellieha Northenders can now attract players from 4 years all the way up to the adult leagues.

Softball is also on the agenda and the Northenders will be starting their softball activity in May in collaboration with the Malta Baseball and Softball Association who will be supplying equipment and coaches.

Anyone interested in playing baseball or softball can call Ray Bartolo on 7926 5065 or Keith Bartolo on 9909 5560.

Schedule for Championship Games vs Mustangs BC Game 1 in Marsa – Saturday 18 April at 15:00 Game 2 in Mellieha – Sunday 19 April at 15:00 Game 3 in Marsa – Sunday 3 May at 15:00

Mellieha Baseball Player for Italian League Mellieha’s Michael Bartolo has signed a one year contract with Baseball Club Oltretorrente of Parma. Bartolo will be leaving Malta to join his new team on the 7th of April. Oltretorrente plays in the Italian Serie B baseball league and forms part of the larger Parma baseball organisation which plays in the Italian Baseball League Serie A. This will be Michael’s second season playing abroad after he played with Jeka in the Dutch baseball league in 2008. The 2008 and 2009 seasons have already been eventful ones for Michael, as besides playing for Jeka in the Netherlands he also played with the Maltese National team in the European Qualifiers held last July in Antwerp, played a major role in Mellieha’s 2009 record year and and now will have his first experience in the Italian baseball league.

Good luck to Michael!
