Maltese defender Alexandra Gatt has capped a remarkable season for her after being named Student Athlete of the Year for her college, Barking Abbey.

Gatt was handed this award during a presentation ceremony earlier this month, as she has now ended her two-year spell at this college. She was chosen by her coaches, teacher and team-mates.

This individual accolade is a prestigious one as it recognises the student who has achieved strong results at academic level while progressing in their chosen sport.
