Mellieħa Tigers Softball Club (MTSC) will be hosting two Italian teams, Milano and Saronno, later this season for a triangular tournament as the Maltese club is finalising its schedule for 2009/10.

The Tigers have also announced that they will be playing against Chieti and Venezia outfit Castelfranco Veneto in another friendly competition next winter.

Mellieħa Tigers are again under the expert guidance of Italian coach Roberto Andolfi this season. Thanks to his contacts abroad, Andolfi, who started coaching way back in the 80s, has reached agreements with Italian clubs to visit Malta and take part in training camps here.

Such initiatives are very useful for Maltese players to hone their skills and gain more experience.

This year, Tigers captain Erica Xerri Mallan again played for Polizzi Generosa team.

It was her third stint in the Italian league.
