At a Council Meeting held on
Tuesday 25th March, Martin Galea was unanimously co opted as acting President
of the Malta Rugby Football Union until the forthcoming annual general
meeting in September.
Mr Galea was the first president of
the Rugby Association of Malta (RAM) when it was officially founded in 1991.
The MRFU is pleased that there has been a smooth
transition of the presidency in such a short time span and therefore continuity
is now guaranteed for the coming weeks and months. We take this opportunity to
wish Mr Galea a successful second term as president so that rugby in Malta can continue to grow.
On his appointment Mr Galea said
that he was very pleased to be associated with rugby, having been a player and
official for many years in the past. He was greatly impressed with the way the
sport has developed over the years both on the international front but also at
club level and the recent gains made involving youth. He thanked the outgoing
president for all the good work he had done and said that he would continue to
build on what has been done to date for the good of the sport.
The council would also like to
thank Mr David Smith for taking on the temporary role of acting president over
the past week. Mr Smith will now return to his previous role as Vice President.
