Naxxar Lions FC forward Gilmar Ribeiro da Silva has won the BOV Player of the Month award for August.
The Brazilian was an inspiration to his team-mates in newly promoted Naxxar’s first three matches.
His top performance came in the Lions’ 2-1 victory over Qormi, where apart from netting two goals, he was a constant thorn in the opponents’ defence with his surging runs.
Unfortunately for Naxxar, Gilmar suffered an injury in their match against Sliema and will be sidelined for two weeks.
His services will definitely be missed by the Lions.
Tania Camilleri, BOV Naxxar branch manager, presented the new Player of the Month trophy to Gilmar who chose Dar Familja Mqaddsa in Naxxar to benefit from the donation associated with this award.
