First Division club San Gwann FC have presented their new sponsor for season 2009-10.

Björn Vassallo, the club’s secretary opened with a brief account which focused on the investment done by the club in the youth sector within the past years and emphasised that the club was today reaping the fruit of this investment.

Vassallo said that the club’s philosophy focused on providing the players with all the tools necessary to improve their skills and reach their maximum potential in a clean and safe environment, assisted by professional coaches like Joe Brincat, Brian Spiteri and Sandro Zammit Fava.

In a short address, Joe Brincat, the club’ s Technical Director spoke about the progress encountered within the club during these past three years. Malta’s ex-international stalwart said that the main aim for this season is to finish with the top five in the First Division and although most of the players in the first team squad are still young, he is confident that they all have the potential and the enthusiasm to make this happen.

The new kits were then presented, with the traditional yellow and blue colours representing the home kit, whilst the red and white colours were chosen for the away kit – these colours pay tribute to the old colours of the club before the seventies.

Pieter Bregman, Director of the The Lightshop and the new club’s main sponsor, said that it was an honour to be amalgamated to such a fresh and active club. The Lightshop is a Maltese based company. In 2009 The Lightshop became the official Philips Consumer Luminaries representative for Malta and Gozo.

The club’s new President, Leonard Vella, spoke about the new projects the club is embarking on.

He thanked former club presidents, namely Joe Falzon, Louis Agius and Andrew Sullivan, for the fruitful work done during the past years.

He explained that the club is working on upgrading the main club house of the club situated in the heart of San Gwann, and the new development and extension of the training centre.
