Hamrun Spartans FC Youth Nursery have organised the Firetech Christmas Festival for the 14th consecutive year.

Around 250 young players from 10 different nurseries participated in this event. Participation was open for four age categories - boys born in 2005, 2004, 2003 and 2001.

New rules and regulations as presented by the MFA Technical Centre were adopted for the first time during this festival and these proved to be a success. These new rules and regulations included new goal post and pitch measurements, the aim being for children to see more of the ball. In line with Youth FA policy, no winners were declared and game results not published but each participant was given a memento.

Fair Play Awards were given to Valletta (age category 2005), Mosta (2004), Hamrun (2003) and Naxxar L. (2001).

The next event for Hamrun Spartans Youth Nursery is the ever-popular Tony Bajada Memorial International Edition being scheduled for the Easter holidays.

Hamrun Spartans Youth Nursery thanked their coaching staff for officiating as time keepers in the lower categories and the MFA referees for their role in the 2001 category matches. The Nursery also thanked Firetech Limited for sponsoring this festival for the eighth consecutive time.
