Marsamxett Valletta Regatta Club has condemned last Friday's incidents in which it said Floriana residents claimed to have been terrorised by a mob of Valletta supporters celebrating Marsamxett's regatta success.

However, the club said the incidents had nothing to do with the regatta celebrations, and in fact started before the official club celebrations kicked off.

The club claimed that supporters of another team tried to disrupt the regatta just before the last race which was extremely important to confirm Marsamxett's winning of the Aggregate Shield.
