Match4 Jan 2027

Nobody above Hamrun Spartans

First, on 51 points. The table is a fact and a fact is allowed to be enjoyed, which is as far as anybody at the club is prepared to go in public.

Match2 Jan 2027

Hamrun Spartans cannot stop winning

7 wins on the spin now, and the question has changed from whether the run ends to who ends it. Confidence like this cannot be bought; it has to be earned exactly this way.

Squad4 Jan 2027

Ipalibo Jack honoured for the season

The kind of year that ends with a name being read out in a hall. Hamrun Spartans had the benefit of it every week and now have the problem of everybody else knowing.

Market4 Jan 2027

Matthew Scicluna asks to leave Hamrun Spartans

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

The terraces4 Jan 2027

One of their own: Michele Carboni

He is 22 and the ground already sings his name, which is a thing that happens to local boys and almost never to signings. Everything from here is measured against an affection he did nothing to earn except be from here.

Match2 Jan 2027

Hamrun Spartans see off Valletta

Three points for Hamrun Spartans, 2‑0 the final word against Valletta in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Match2 Jan 2027

Hamrun Spartans are at home on the road

3 straight away victories. Sides that win away are usually sides that can defend and can counter, and the table has begun to reflect what those journeys have earned.

Market4 Jan 2027

Hibernians watching Célio

The interest is real enough to have reached print. Hamrun Spartans have said nothing, which in a transfer window is its own kind of answer.

Player ratings4 Jan 2027

A masterclass from Michele Carboni

Marked 8.54 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

Market31 Aug 2026

Célio hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Hamrun Spartans can pretend not to have heard.

Market31 Aug 2026

Hamrun Spartans say no — this time

The offer from Tarxien Rainbows for Eder Bruno was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Boardroom31 Aug 2026

5 academy players handed senior numbers at Hamrun Spartans

The morning the pathway stops being a brochure and becomes a team sheet. Most of them will not be here in three years; all of them have already done the hard part, which was getting to today.

Transfer targets31 Aug 2026

Hamrun Spartans rebuffed over Brandon Paiber

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Valletta have kept their man, and Hamrun Spartans go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Match29 Aug 2026

Damir Céter the difference as Hamrun Spartans beat Marsaxlokk

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Damir Céter. 2‑1 against Marsaxlokk, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

Market31 Aug 2026

One of our own: Matthew Scicluna joins the Hamrun Spartans first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Matthew Scicluna is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Market31 Aug 2026

Hamrun Spartans promote Jake Azzopardi from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Jake Azzopardi has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Squad31 Aug 2026

Goal number 50 for Damir Céter

50 goals in these colours now, every one of them somebody’s memory. There is a supporter in the stand who can tell you where he was for most of them.
