Stripes beat Balzan to earn Section A place

by Ayrton Galea - 1st October 2017

Birkirkara FC Under-17's Team will be playing in Section A in Season 2017-2018 as they finished the play-off group in the pole position after defeating Balzan FC with a 2-1 score.

The Stripes started well and managed to break the deadlock seventeen minutes of play. Glenn Attard rose high from a Harley Bugeja corner-kick and headed past Sean Camilleri. Balzan managed to equalise on the 31st minute as Ismael Colombo's shot beat Jake Schiavone.

Although a draw would still mean that the Stripes will earn a place in Section A, they went out with all guns blazing and managed to regain the lead. Paul Mbong dribbled past an opponent and squared the ball back to Chris Mula who placed the ball past the helpless Camilleri.

The Stripes controlled the match and came out worthy winners in this match.

BIRKIRKARA: Jake Schiavone, Jean Paul Baldacchino, Harley Bugeja (75' Owen Sciberras), Neil Friggieri, Sebastian Grech, Chris Mula (60' Calvin Mallia), Ethan Lethridge, Glenn Attard, Nikolai Farrugia Cross, Michele Vella, Paul Mbong.

Scorers: Harley Bugeja, Chris Mula.
