2019-20: Simply Plainsailing

After a short foray in the Europa League (which although included a 7-1 home win against Montenegrin team Lovcen, ended in the 3rd Qualifying Round with defeat to Scotland's Falkirk), the Knights immediately set to continue the impressive run of eight consecutive wins with which we finished last season, winning the first round of the FA Trophy, and then the first three matches in the league.

This form was continued all season, losing just twice, drawing twice, and winning the rest, winning the league with 5 games to spare and breaking both points and goals records (which stood at 60 and 62 respectively), and the FA Trophy; conceding just 15 times in 28 league matches, and only once in the Trophy (a 92nd minute penalty in the Final).

Following such successes during the season, the board decided to upgrade my training facilities, and to build a youth academy, with the hope of nurturing young Maltese talent, hopefully to start competing with foreign players.

The Maltese Premier League climbed 49 places to 191st in the Competition Rankings, whilst Mdina Knights moved up 12 places to 305th in the European Club Rankings.
