Prolific Valletta striker, Omar Sebastian Monesterolo, has won the first BOV Player of the Month award this football season. Monesterolo's six goals in the first two BOV Premier League matches for Valletta made him an automatic contender for this award.

Roderick Abela, Head of BOV's Valletta Business Centre presented the trophy to the player during a visit to the Ursuline Sisters in Valletta. The Children's Home was chosen by the player as the beneficiary of the monthly donation linked to the award made available by BOV. The donation was presented by Mr Monesterolo to Madre Christina in the presence of Louis Micallef from the Malta Football Association. The funds will support the running of the sister's home in Valletta.

A new Player of the Month trophy had been designed for this new season with Mr. Monesterolo being the first player to receive the new trophy this year.
