The Hamrun Spartans Sentinel
Squad7 Sep 2026
A knee injury of the worst kind for Jake Grech
113 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Hamrun Spartans lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Window shuts: 13 in, 0 out at Hamrun Spartans
The deadline has passed and the squad is the squad. 13 arrived, 0 left, and everything else printed about this club last month was a rumour that stayed one.
Transfer targets7 Sep 2026
Vinicius Baiano due for a Hamrun Spartans medical
Everything agreed with Naxxar Lions, everything agreed with the player; a doctor is the only person left to persuade. The photograph is a day or two away.

Robbie Cleary turns down Hamrun Spartans
The clubs had agreed and the player had not. A snub, and a public one: another club keep him, and the supporters here are left wondering what he had heard about the place.

The step up is real for Kydin Hili
At 19 he is doing things this season that he could not do last season, and doing them every week. Form comes and goes; this has stayed long enough to be called something else.
Squad7 Sep 2026
A row about effort at Hamrun Spartans
Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Danilo Bulevardi was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Hamrun Spartans rebuffed over Timothy Fenech
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.
Match5 Sep 2026
A bad afternoon for Hamrun Spartans against Mosta
0‑1 to Mosta, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Michele Carboni beats them one at a time
Successful dribbles: 17. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.
