Tenpin bowler Matthew Magro was named the ‘Atlas Youth Athlete of the month’ for the month of June 2020. Magro won this award following his recent impressive results which saw him officially becoming the youngest ever Maltese tenpin bowler to roll a perfect game.

Kollegi Illum 2 ta' Lulju qed niċċelebraw il-Jum Dinji dedikat lill-Ġurnalisti tal-Isport. B'hekk il-ġurnata tal-lum hi importanti bħal kull sena li niċelebrawha iżda din is-sena niċċelebrawha b'mod partikolari hekk kif is-sena 2020 taħbat ukoll is-sena li fiha qed niċċelebraw il-50 sena anniversarju mit-twaqqif tal-Għaqda Ġurnalisti Sports lura fl-1970 dakinhar kienet ingħatat l-isem Għaqda Kittieba Sports. Minn hawn insellem lill-ewwel President tagħna Fr. Hilary Tagliaferro u sħabu fl-ewwel kumitat. Sena partikolari din tal-2020 mhux biss ta' ċelebrazzjoni għalina iżda ta' riflessjoni hekk kif kienet sena li x-xogħol tagħna kien affetwat bil-COVID-19 u r-riperkussjonijiet kollha li din il-pandemija ġabet magħha. Il-waqfien ta' diversi attivitajiet sportivi f'Malta affetwaw lil ħafna minnkom li kontu tkunu assenjati xogħol l-aktar f’kull tmiem il-ġimgħa. Fortunatament f'pajjiżna ma rriżultax li kien hemm sensji ta' ġurnalisti tal-inqas dawk li jaħdmu fil-ġurnaliżmu bħala l-impjieg prinċipali tagħhom. Il-ħsieb u s-solidarjeta' tiegħi imorru lill-eluf ta' ġurnalisti madwar id-Dinja speċjalment fl-Ewropa u fl-Amerika [...]
