Maroons nursery players recently had the time of their life playing football with established senior squad members of Gżira FC, currently joint second with Valletta in the BOV premier league.
This event formed part of the Maroons Christmas Fest organised by Gżira United FC in collaboration with Midi Plc. Throughout the morning, the kids had the opportunity to participate in a penalty shoot-out and small sided games with their local football idols.
During the event, held on December 15 at the Gżira School Ground, club president Sharlon Pace announced that Gżira FC Nursery had secured a sponsorship from Midi Plc.
