Player ratings22 Nov 2027

Kléri Serber runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 51. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad22 Nov 2027

Patrick Schembri breaks a bone — 17 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 17 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Match20 Nov 2027

Whatever happens, Hamrun Spartans do not lose

8 games unbeaten now. Some were earned and some were survived, but a habit is forming — and habits are the hardest thing in football to play against.

Squad22 Nov 2027

Danilo Bulevardi in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Hamrun Spartans this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match20 Nov 2027

Nobody wins at Hamrun Spartans

9 home matches unbeaten. Visiting sides arrive already talking about the atmosphere, which is usually the sign that they have half-lost before kickoff.

Squad22 Nov 2027

Ognjen Bjeličić falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

In brief

  • Player ratings Jonny stands above it all
  • Squad Jonny named player of the week

The Hamrun Spartans Sentinel

15 Nov 2027
From our football correspondent Triumph

Match15 Nov 2027

Hamrun Spartans are in among the leaders

Position 1 and 25 points on the board. Nobody at the ground will say the word out loud yet, and everybody at the ground is thinking it.

Squad15 Nov 2027

Patrick Schembri breaks a bone — 26 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 26 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Match13 Nov 2027

Nobody wants to play Hamrun Spartans right now

5 wins in a row changes how opponents warm up: quieter, more glances across. Runs end, everybody knows that — but nobody in this dressing room is planning for it.

Player ratings15 Nov 2027

Oshobe Oladele runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 22. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad15 Nov 2027

Words at Hamrun Spartans training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Danilo Bulevardi is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Boardroom15 Nov 2027

Hamrun Spartans beat the market to Jurgen Pisani from Zabbar St. Patrick

Zabbar St. Patrick will keep picking him until June and will get nothing for him after it. Jurgen Pisani has pre-agreed a move to Hamrun Spartans, and the only people who lose in that arrangement are the ones who let the contract run down.

Match13 Nov 2027

Jonny sends Hamrun Spartans past Marsaxlokk

It finished 1‑0, and it was Jonny’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Hamrun Spartans.

Player ratings15 Nov 2027

Jonny was on a different afternoon to everybody else

8.49. There are performances a supporter describes to somebody who was not there and cannot quite convey; this was one, and the number does not help either.

Squad15 Nov 2027

Joseph Mbong gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

In brief

From our football correspondent Triumph

Squad8 Nov 2027

Patrick Schembri breaks a bone — 33 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 33 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Match6 Nov 2027

Nobody wants to play Hamrun Spartans right now

4 wins in a row changes how opponents warm up: quieter, more glances across. Runs end, everybody knows that — but nobody in this dressing room is planning for it.

Player ratings8 Nov 2027

Rafael Compri goes up and wins it — 7.79

A defender on the scoresheet, which happens rarely enough that everybody in the ground remembers who took the corner. 1 for him, and a mark of 7.79 for the rest of it.

Market8 Nov 2027

Only the photograph left for Matthias Debono

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Matthias Debono will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Hamrun Spartans the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Squad8 Nov 2027

Tempers go at Hamrun Spartans

Oshobe Oladele was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad8 Nov 2027

Danilo Bulevardi falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Match6 Nov 2027

Kléri Serber sends Hamrun Spartans past Gzira United

It finished 2‑0, and it was Kléri Serber’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Hamrun Spartans.

Player ratings8 Nov 2027

Nobody could get near Mouad El Fanis

Successful dribbles: 19. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Match6 Nov 2027

Hamrun Spartans make home a hard place to visit

8 without defeat on their own grass. The pitch has not changed; the crowd has — louder earlier, and quicker to sense when the opposition would rather be somewhere else.

In brief

  • Player ratings Jonny in the eights
  • Player ratings A masterclass from Kléri Serber
  • Squad Jonny named player of the month
