Noel Vassallo Cup

 

Whites win Noel Vassallo Cup [25/05/03]

The newly-crowned Gozo Champions Nadur Youngsters seem to be determined not to leave anything behind! A victory against Zebbug Rovers on Sunday was no easy task. In fact 120 minutes were not enough for the whites to snatch the Noel Vassallo Cup as the Gozo Stadium scoreboard was still reading a 2-2 score. The whites went two goals ahead in the first 30 minutes with goals by Edoardo do Nascimento (23rd) and Chris Camilleri (30th). Yet the Rovers surprised the crowd with two goals in the first 15 minutes of the second half.

Teddie Bajada's boys combined graft with craft to dominate large swathes of possession against an eager Rovers side. A final match sealed with penalty shoot-outs may have been a cruel blow to Zebbug Rovers, but it definitely rewarded the most enterprising team.
