Inter ta Malta

Overview of Team

Inter ta' Malta was formed in early September 2004, with manager Matthew Borg realising that an opportunity to come to Malta finally arose; as the league was created by the HT's. In fact, ITM were the 3rd team to be accepted into the Malta League, behind Mellieha FC (709335) and Selmun Hornets (709336).

With the manager having a rocky past experience in the English League, although the team won the VI.527 title in Season 23, pastures new were saught after in order for the manager not to repeat any previously made mistakes. Besides, the opportunity to turn down the Maltese League was too great.

ITM's greatest moment to date came in Season 3, when the team finally lifted the II.1 title. It was, however, Season 2 that turned out to be the hardest battle between all the teams. Mellieha Knights (709338), champions that year, finished top of the league by a mile - but only a handful of points separated positions 4 to 7 in the league. This, in turn - led to Melita Eagles (709826) being relegated with a decent tally of 16 points overall. ITM finished 3rd, 4 points behind 2nd-placed Crazy Docs, in that season.

The team is currently a mid-table side that is building for the future and an eventual assault on the II.1 title yet again, as well as a potential chance to jump to the Premier League.
