The Hamrun Spartans Sentinel
Player ratings14 Sep 2026
Michele Carboni scores twice — 8.48
Two goals and a mark of 8.48 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.
Transfer targets14 Sep 2026
Chesterfield tell Hamrun Spartans: Gunner Elliott is not for sale
The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

The dugout14 Sep 2026
Neville Xuereb has his say
“We earned that. I asked them for a reaction and I got one, and now I want the same again on Saturday.” Neville Xuereb on a 2‑0 afternoon that pleased him more than he was prepared to show.
Squad14 Sep 2026
A row about effort at Hamrun Spartans
Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Eder Bruno was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.
Looking ahead14 Sep 2026
Hamrun Spartans take on the side everybody is chasing
Sliema Wanderers arrive as leaders. A side at the top is beaten roughly once a month, and the club that does it gets a week it remembers for a year.
The dugout14 Sep 2026
Rafael Compri dropped after a run of poor form
The one version of being left out a player cannot argue with, and the one he takes worst. Somebody else has been better and the team sheet says so, in public, every week until it changes.
Looking ahead14 Sep 2026
Miguel Camilleri faces his old club
Sliema Wanderers next, and one man in the Hamrun Spartans dressing room knows their training ground better than his own. The reception will tell him what they thought of him.
Squad14 Sep 2026
Victor Cutajar, 15, gets his chance
Off the academy pitches and onto a senior team sheet at 15. The debut is the easy part; the second appearance is the one every young player has to earn.
