Briffa player of the month
Valletta FC poster presentation
Valletta midfielder Roderick Briffa netted the BOV Player of the Month award for the months of April and May 2011.
The City midfielder was instrumental in Valletta’s forward play during this period where he scored twice against Ħamrun Spartans and again found the back of the net against Marsa-xlokk to take his tally to eight goals in the Premier League this season.
His positive performances during this period caught the journalists’ attention who voted him Player of the Match in the matches against Marsaxlokk and Ħamrun on City’s way to clin-ching their 20th league title.
Victor Denaro, BOV Chief Officer, presented the last BOV Player of the Month trophy for season 2010/2011 to Briffa.
Meanwhile, BOV CEO Tonio Depasquale officially presented a copy of a Valletta FC poster to club president Victor Sciriha at the BOV Centre in Sta Venera.
“I take this opportunity to congratulate the players and committee of Valletta FC for winning the BOV Premier League this season,” Depasquale said.
“Bank of Valletta has been supporting the local football leagues for the last six years and it’s the second time that Valletta FC are being crowned champions during this period.”
Besides Sciriha, the Valletta FC delegation at the BOV offices also included coach Jesmond Zerafa, captain Gilbert Agius and club vice-president Paul Spiteri.
“We are proud to be the first team to receive this accolade without suffering a defeat all season,” Sciriha said.
“We take this opportunity to thank BOV for this gesture that will definitely be appreciated and cherished by our loyal supporters.”
A limited number of the Val-letta FC posters are available from the BOV branch in Republic Street, Valletta.
