Valletta captain Gilbert Agius has been named BOV Player of the Month for February.

It was almost inevitable that this accolade would go to Agius, a name well steeped in the annals of the City club and of our national teams.

Although in the veteran stage, the Valletta forward is still displaying qualities of youthful exuberance coupled with exquisite touches of experience when hitting excellent goals and laying inviting balls for his colleagues to score.

His gem in Malta's 1-1 draw against Austria in a friendly match last month, when he hit the ball on the full volley in the first half, and his remarkable brace in a league match against Birkirkara four days later capped a great month for Agius.

Agius has definitely lifted his team's collective qualities to very satisfactory levels this season. Valletta are third in the Premier League on 21 points, only two adrift of second-placed Sliema Wanderers and 11 behind leaders Marsaxlokk.
