Bank of Valletta has printed a commemorative poster of the new BOV Premier League Champions 2006/07 – Marsaxlokk FC.
The first copy of the poster was presented to the Marsaxlokk FC Vice President, Victor Sciriha, by Charles Borg, Executive Head, CEO’s Office at Bank of Valletta.
Speaking during the presentation, Charles Borg congratulated the players and the Committee of the Marsaxlokk Football Club for winning the BOV Premier League this season.
“Marsaxlokk have shown that they were the best team this season and, as such, deserve the title of BOV Premier League Champions,” said Mr. Borg. “This is the second year Bank of Valletta is sponsoring the National Leagues and the Super Cup organised by the Malta Football Association, – a sponsorship that is granted under the Bank’s community programme in support of the development of the most popular sport in Malta. Throughout the season, we have also sponsored the BOV Player of the Month award whereby the winning player selects a philanthropic organisation to benefit from a monthly social donation made available by the Bank,” added Mr. Borg.
Mr Sciriha thanked Bank of Valletta for donating posters to the Club in recognition of this successful season. He said, “We are proud to have achieved this year’s hard fought championship, the first in Marsaxlokk’s history. The championship is our reward to all our supporters that have been loyal to the team through our highs and lows. This initiative by Bank of Valletta gives our supporters the opportunity to have a special memento of our triumphant season,” concluded Mr. Sciriha.
Bank of Valletta will once again organise a presentation ceremony on Sunday at Ta’ Qali immediately after the last BOV Premier League match of the season between Marsaxlokk and Sliema. “Last year this initiative was well received by the players and supporters alike, as it added to the fantastic atmosphere at the National Stadium. BOV will also be distributing balloon sticks to supporters to help make the celebrations an occasion that will be remembered,” concluded Charles Borg.
