The Marsa Sports Club’s Cricket Section Committee, together with members of the main club committee, held a meeting with the Mayor of Marsa, Mr. Luke Farrugia, to discuss future plans for the development of cricket within the local community and across Malta.
Also present were Mr. Pierre Azzopardi, Director of Sundreams Travel, and Mr. Fabrizio Ferruggia, Director of Ferruggia Fleet — both key sponsors and long-term supporters of the Marsa Sports Club.
The meeting centred on strengthening initiatives to promote cricket among the youth of Malta, beginning with the Marsa community. Plans were discussed to expand youth training programmes, school outreach projects, and community-based cricket events aimed at fostering inclusivity, teamwork, and healthy lifestyles.
Both Sundreams Travel and Ferruggia Fleet expressed their commitment to becoming more involved in the club’s youth and community development initiatives. The two sponsors highlighted their belief that sport — and cricket in particular — can serve as a positive force for community engagement and upliftment, providing young people with opportunities to grow both on and off the field.
Sundreams Travel continues to play an important role by bringing international touring teams to Malta, which enhances local cricket while also promoting the island as a destination for sports tourism. Ferruggia Fleet, a proud Marsa-based business, remains an essential local partner and supporter of the club’s ongoing development efforts.
Representing the Marsa Sports Club at the meeting were Mr. Godwin Borg (Club Chairman), Mr. Dermot Galea (Club Secretary), Mr. David Millard (Cricket Section Chairman), and Mr. Lee Tuck (Cricket Section Secretary).
All attendees expressed enthusiasm for the collaborative plans that will see Marsa Sports Club continue to serve as the home of cricket in Malta, using the sport as a tool to inspire and empower the next generation through community engagement and sporting excellence.
