The Naxxar Victorians players kicked off their first preseason training session on Tuesday as the team begins to prepare for the 2021/22 season. This will see the league return to its normal state following the MAFA Special League was set up during the COVID-19 restricted 2020/21 season.
Most of last season’s players, as well as a number of trialists, showed up at the club’s training ground for preseason as coach Karl Borg begins to work on the squad’s fitness levels. The season is set to begin around September (no confirmed date so far) and Borg insists every season’s goal is to win as much as we can.
Asked by www.naxxarvictorians.com about this season’s Day 01, Borg sounded his enthusiasm by saying that it was a strong start to what he plans to be a tough but important preseason.
Squad changes
The squad will be facing a few changes from last season due to the fact that wide man Gonzalo Bueno has returned to Spain, while Camilleri brothers James and Jason will not be available for personal reasons. Captain Chris Cutajar and vice-captain Kyle Agius return to the squad after a year of absence due to COVID-19.
The club’s call for new players remains open. Those interested can get in touch with the club through our contact page as well as our Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter pages.
