The Birzebbuga St. Peter's Courier
Match13 Feb 2027
Still nobody has beaten Birzebbuga St. Peter's
The unbeaten run reaches 10. Some of them were wins and some were escapes, but a side that refuses to lose is a side other dressing rooms talk about.
Match13 Feb 2027
Birzebbuga St. Peter's make home a hard place to visit
12 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.
Squad15 Feb 2027
Duván Mosquera is carrying Birzebbuga St. Peter's
15 goals and a season average of 7.32. Form like that gets noticed well beyond this town.

Tempers go at Birzebbuga St. Peter's
Alex Bruno 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.

Birzebbuga St. Peter's get the job done against Fgura United
A 3‑2 win over Fgura United, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.
The terraces15 Feb 2027
One of their own: Charles Chibuike
He is 23 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.

Rafael Deguara steps up from the Birzebbuga St. Peter's academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Rafael Deguara has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

One of our own: Owen Azzopardi joins the Birzebbuga St. Peter's first team
Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Owen Azzopardi is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Jean Borg steps up from the Birzebbuga St. Peter's academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Jean Borg has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.
