Malta. Ranked 31st. The smallest European top league, but the system was vaster:
Vittotiosa Stars was third level at most.
Rabat Ajax was unable to win promotion in the Second Division.
Qormi FC finished 2nd and St. Patrick won Second Division – both teams were promoted.
Zebbug Rangers was last with 3 points in the First Division. Tarxien Rainbows - 8th with 4 points. Both teams were relegated.
Naxxar Lions - 6th with 11 points.
Hamrun Spartans - 4th with 23 points.
Hibernians was 3rd with 23 points and Sliema Wanderers 2nd with 24 points.
Valletta FC won its 13th title – they had 2 points deducted and still were the strongest and practically without a rival: 13 wins, 2 ties and only one lost match, 31-6 scoring record and 26 points.
The Cup final opposed Birkirkara to Sliema Wanderers. No surprises: Sliema won 1-0.
Birkirkara, playing in Second Division, was brave against the second-best team in the country, but was unable to produce a miracle.
Maybe a photo of the Cup winners – Sliema Wanderers had some difficulties against a Second Division team at the final, but managed to win. Thus, they lost the championship, but still won a trophy – their 17th Cup.
