Ħamrun Spartans supporters are celebrating Saturday after their team's remarkable march towards its ninth Premier League title.
Thousands packed the enclosure side of the Ta' Qali stadium to watch Ħamrun beat Gudja in the last match of the season, leaving second-placed Birkirkara trailing by 19 points.
After captain Steve Borg lifted the trophy, the masses moved towards Ħamrun where a street party is being organised.
