 The new season’s FA Trophy trek got underway on Saturday when a preliminary round match was played between the Gozitan team, Oratory Youths, and Marsascala. This first tie was won by Oratory Youths after they dismissed Marsascala 5-1. They will now meet another team from Gozo, St Lawrence Spurs. The competition re-phased some years ago with the participation of almost all the Gozo and Malta FA National League teams will now move to the first round with 12 matches scheduled over three days, Friday 11th, Saturday 12th and Sunday 13th September. The teams at this stage are 11 from Gozo and 13 from the third division in Malta. As expected, these matches will be keenly-contested, with the teams hoping to proceed to the second round which is due to be played before the end of the year.
