APS Bank's Chief Officer, Noel McCarthy, presented the awards to young footballers during the 2015/2016 Youth Football Association's Annual Presentation Night, held on Friday, 5 August at The Palace Hotel in Sliema.

During his speech, Mr McCarthy said, "even though football is seen as a competitive sport, it should also be celebrated for its uniting aspect. This yearly event is proof of how football can also bring together supporters of different teams to celebrate together".

Fr Hilary Tagliaferro, YFA's President, thanked APS for supporting the organisation for over 14 years.

Today, the Youth Football Association enjoys the participation of 49 nurseries from across the Maltese Islands. By the end of the 2015/2016 season, 863 games were played involving more than 8,000 children between the ages of 6 and 16 years.

The list of winners for this season can be accessed through the website of the Youth Football Association.
