The Naxxar Victorians players and staff celebrated another season during the weekend at the annual ‘Night of the Victorians’ awards night at Kimchi.

Despite the 2022-23 season being particularly disappointing for the club, suffering an unfortunate relegation, the club remains focused on its project and decided to award the efforts of its players throughout the season.
