The sixth Melita Digital Malta Football Awards ( www.maltafootball.com/awards ) are fast approac-hing. As announced last month, when this year's edition was launched, there will be two new awards which will be totally voted for by the public.

From the votes registered so far for the Best Support Award, Valletta are heading the list with Hibs and Birkirkara following closely.

The public can continue to vote by sending an SMS to 5061-4914 till the actual date of the Awards night - June 9.

Sandro Micallef, chairman of the Organising Committee, said: "There is a big expectation for this year's Awards.

"The feedback is better this time, probably due to the fact that there are two specific categories that are totally reserved for the public voting, namely, the Powerade Outstanding Award and the Best Support Award."

The Awards contested

Best Goalkeeper, Best Defender, Best Midfielder, Best Striker, Most Promising Youngster, Best Coach, Best Maltese Player, Best Goal, Best Female Player, Best Futsal Player (Div. One), Best Onvol GFA Div. One player, Best Veteran Player (over 35), Best First Division Player, Special Award for Career, Special MFA Award, Special GFA Award and a Special YFA Award together with the Powerade Outstanding Award and the Best Support Award.

Meanwhile, voting for the majority of the categories came to an end last weekend. In the coming days, the Organising Committee will announce the three finalists in each category.
