U19 team outclasses Hibernians

by Ayrton Galea - 1st November 2013

Birkirkara Under-19's Team extended their positive run in the Youth's League Section A. Thanks to another excellent display, which earned them three precious points, they outclassed Hibernians, to end the match with a score of 3-0.

The team quickly put behind it the unfortunate 2-1 loss against Valletta in the opening match. The Striped then delivered a bold statement of the team's qualities by bouncing back in an excellent way and registering three wins in a row, with the last one arriving yesterday evening against Hibernians.

After the comfortable 3-0 victory over Floriana and the 2-0 victory over Naxxar Lions, the Stripes' kept their morale high to give another spirited performance and enjoy joint leadership of the table in the early phase.

Kurt Zammit kept his scoring touch as the Under 19 National player scored a brace. Russell Gatt De Raffaele scored the other goal to seal the issue for the Stripes.

Under 17's player Clint Zammit made his debut with the Under 19's Team when he was included as a substitute.

The team's next match will be on Wednesday, 6 November when they face Pieta Hotspurs in a difficult encounter.
