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. 🏏💙
