This video footage shows the 1974 decider against Victoria Hotspurs. It was originally shot by Mr Joe Mailak using a colour reel video camera and was later donated to the Ghajnsielem Football Club.
The 1973/74 league championship was won and lost on Saturday June 8, 1974. The marvellous goal scored by Frans Magro three minutes from the end in the league decider between Ghajnsielem and Victoria Hotspurs, not only confirmed the Blacks' supremacy for the fifth year running, but also brought to a close the most memorable season in Club history. In this season Ghajnsielem swept all three main competitions that were organized by the G.F.A., established a record for consecutive championships, equalled the record for most championships won achieved earlier by the Salesian Youths and Victoria Hotspurs, and was the first club in Gozo which dared to challenge a foreign team on the field of play. Above all, this success was achieved after eight players from the 1972/73 championship winning team were taken away by emigration, misfortune and intrigue inspired by other clubs.
