The 'BOV Player of the Month award for May has been won by Michael Falzon, the Hamrun Spartans goalkeeper.

The Spartans' custodian played his part well in trying to defend his net as his colleagues were subjected to heavy pressure in an effort to salvage their Premier League status when they played their last matches in the relegation pool.

A series of saves in two particular matches, including one from a penalty against Mosta, must have tipped the scales in Falzon's favour when the journalists voted for the best player.
