Reference is made to the Shadows from the Past of last week "Greens' four leagues in a row".

In the accompanying photograph, the name of the unidentified player, fourth from right (standing), is that of Alfred Micallef. Two notable absentees from the team photo are Lolly Debattista, who played in the four championships referred to, and Joe 'Tichy' Grech who joined Valletta FC at the start of the 1952/53 season.

The Ajax were promoted to the First Division in the 1947-48 season, not 1948-49, when the favourable results against Melita, Hibs and Naxxar Lions were obtained.
