January sets the tone for the year ahead, with activity across all sections of the Club.
After many years of quiet tables, snooker is officially back at Marsa Sports Club.
As part of the revival of the Indoor Games Section, the Club will be launching a Snooker Tournament in early 2026, giving members the chance to return to (or discover) one of the Club’s more traditional games in an organised, competitive format.
The tournament will run at the Club from 26th January to 8th March 2026, with all matches played in the MSC snooker rooms. It is open to Marsa Sports Club members, and entries are now being accepted.
The Snooker Tournament 2026 will be played in a round-robin format, with matches scheduled across the tournament period.
Full conditions, format and rules are listed on the official application form and event page, but in brief:
• Tournament dates: 26 January – 8 March 2026
• Closing date for entries: Friday, 16 January 2026
• Eligibility: Marsa Sports Club members
• Entry fee: €15 per player
The tournament is organised by the Indoor Games Section, led by George O. Attard and Alex Cutajar, who will oversee scheduling, results and overall coordination.
This tournament is the first step in rebuilding a regular programme for the Indoor Games Section at Marsa Sports Club. After a number of years with little formal snooker activity, the aim is to:
• Bring players back to the snooker rooms in a structured way
• Offer members another way to enjoy the Club outside of outdoor sports
• Lay the groundwork for future events and social activities around indoor games
Members of all ages and backgrounds who enjoy snooker – whether regularly or occasionally – are encouraged to take part and support the section’s relaunch.
Application forms are also available at the Club reception.
Once entries close, the Indoor Games Section will publish the draw and match schedule, and participants will be contacted with further details on fixtures and reporting of results.
For any questions, members may contact:
• George O. Attard – 9947 7654
• Alex Cutajar – 9982 4232
• Or email indoorgames@marsasportsclub.com
Snooker has long been part of the Club’s story, and this tournament is an opportunity to give it the platform it deserves again. We look forward to seeing the tables in full use and welcoming members to the Snooker Tournament 2026.
The cricket section of Marsa Sports Club proudly hosted the inaugural MSC Glynn-Hewitt T20 Cup, a 10-team tournament played over four action-packed weeks, featuring two games a day. The event delivered exciting cricket, new rivalries, and standout performances that set a strong foundation for what promises to become a long-standing annual tradition.
Swieqi United held their nerve to secure a 9-run win in a tight, low-scoring semi-final. Their bowlers kept disciplined lines, defending a modest total with composure at the death.
Gozo CC produced a dominant performance, defeating Gozo Zalmi by 75 runs.
In a well-contested final, Gozo CC set a competitive target, but Swieqi United chased it down in just 16 overs to win by 6 wickets.
The tournament proudly carries the name of the late Wally & Ernie Glynn as well as Gordon Hewitt, cherished figures in the club’s history. Representing the Glynn family at the final was Wally’s granddaughter, Tracy Glynn, who had the honour of presenting the trophy to the champions.
Tracy grew up at Marsa Sports Club, often spending weekends and holidays with her Nanu, Wally, who introduced her to the vibrant community and atmosphere of the club. She shared heartfelt memories of her childhood at MSC — stories of long afternoons at the ground, family gatherings, and the warmth of the cricketing community that shaped her early years.
Her presence added a deeply meaningful touch to the final, connecting the club’s past to its exciting future. The tournament not only celebrated competitive cricket but also honoured the heritage and people who helped shape the club across generations.
The inaugural MSC Glynn-Hewitt T20 Cup delivered everything fans could hope for — big performances, dramatic finishes, and a strong sense of community. Congratulations to Swieqi United, to all individual award winners, and to every team that brought energy and passion to the competition.
Here’s to many more editions of the Glynn-Hewitt T20 Cup — and to growing cricket in Malta even further. 🏏💙
Marsa Sports Club brought the Quest Robbie Scerri Tennis Team Tournament to a close with the final matches and prize presentation on the tennis courts.

The full podium for this year’s edition was as follows:

Congratulations to all teams for their performances throughout the event.
This team tournament would not have been possible without the commitment of the captains, who guided their teams from the very first ball of the round-robin stages to the last point of the finals.
Special thanks go to organisers Josanne Cassar and Carole Scrine for their work in planning, scheduling and running the event smoothly from start to finish.
The Club also thanks Quest for sponsoring the tournament and supporting team tennis at Marsa Sports Club.
During the presentation, the winners of the Tennis Trade competition linked to the event were also drawn:
Well done to both winners, and thank you to everyone who took part.
The team tennis calendar continues in the new year with the Gatorade Tennis Team Tournament, starting in January 2026.
Members who enjoyed the Quest Robbie Scerri event – as players or supporters – are encouraged to take part in the next team competition.

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.
