This season, MAAA Road Running League title holder Charles Cilia will be running for a new club following his move to Mellieha AC after a number of years with AS Libertas.

"I'm very happy and pleased to join Mellieha AC," he said, indicating that, apart from retaining the Running League title, he intends to challenge for the Zurrieq Half Marathon, the Malta Challenge Marathon as well as taking part in a marathon overseas.

This is an important boost for Mellieha AC, this year celebrating their 15th anniversary. The club is looking to win the MAAA Road Running League title for the first time.

They certainly have all the credentials to do so as Cilia will be joining a team of established runners like Robert Attard, Peter Azzopardi and Jimmy Sacco. The club's main squad also boasts the likes of David Galea, Johann Galea, Mario Vella, Stephen Borg and Richard Chetcuti.

Of the athletes in the squad, four are coached by Dutchman Has Kesra.
