Carlos Hevia (picture), of Tarxien Rainbows, is the BOV player of the month for December.
The Spanish midfielder, better known as ‘Carlinos’, was instrumental in Rainbows’ crucial victory over Naxxar that lifted them out of the relegation zone. His pin-pointed pass to Firaz Aboulezz produced the match-winning goal.
Hevia also scored against Żebbuġ Rangers last month. Stealing possession just outside the box, he unleashed a low shot into the bottom corner.
Hevia’s performance earned him the BOV player of the match accolade but on that occasion the Rangers had the last laugh as they won the encounter 2-1.
Marica Ellul, BOV Paola Branch manager, presented the trophy to Hevia.
