The St. Andrews Sentinel
Match9 Nov 2026
St. Andrews refuse to drop out of the race
Position 2, 18 points, and the result everyone checks first is now theirs. The word is still not being said around the ground, which is how you know everyone is thinking it.

Kevin Romero stands alone
8 saves, and a scoreline the ten men in front of him had no right to. Goalkeepers only get noticed on the bad days; this was one of the other ones.

Michael Zuo, 21, plays like he has been here for years — 7.66
A mark of 7.66 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 21-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

Jackson goes up and wins it — 7.75
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 7.75 for the rest of it.

A falling-out at St. Andrews
Michael Zuo and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.
Match7 Nov 2026
Edson Silva sends St. Andrews past Santa Lucia
It finished 2‑1, and it was Edson Silva’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to St. Andrews.

St. Andrews lose Ivan Ellul
54 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.

Mattia Galliano runs at them all day
Successful dribbles: 18. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Edson Silva was the difference for St. Andrews
Marked 7.79. Ask anyone leaving the ground what settled it and you will get one name, which is the only award that has ever really counted.
In brief
- Squad Mattia Galliano falls out with a teammate over standards
- The dugout A satisfied Angelo Scerri
- The dugout No hiding place for Liam Scicluna
