Cyprian Dalli, St Patrick's AC secretary, writes:
Reference is made to the article 'Mellieħa AC Runners Leave Their Mark in Malta Marathon' (March 6).
We congratulate all clubs and runners who took part in the marathon and half marathon for their achievements. However, it should be noted that it was our team, made up of Drew Lang, Martin Agius and Renato Caruana, who placed second in the marathon men's team event.
The unofficial results, issued by the Malta Marathon Organising Committee, had inadvertently awarded the runners-up spot to Mellieħa AC but the mistake has now been rectified by the organisers.
It is also worth mentioning that on March 1, St Patrick's AC trio, Jonathan Balzan, Haitem Ksheim and George Vella, placed first in the half marathon team event.
