Greens raring to go against Cypriots

Floriana also presented their new players who are Luke Agius, Matthew Towns, Christian Cassar and William Amamu’, Thomas Paris, Edilson Dos Santos.

“This is a hugely important game for us and one has to consider that the Cypriot team has a huge reputation. However with Floriana returning to Europe after an absence of 17 years, morale in the club is high”, coach Michael Woods said.

“We know that Larnaca are of a higher level than us but we believe that we can rise to the occasion as we did in the FA Trophy final”, captain Manolito Micallef said

Woods said that Larnaca had a coach with considerable experience of the local scene in the form of Tan Kaanen with players who also played previously in Malta.

Floriana President Johann Said said that the squad has been strengthened with the acquisition of Thomas Paris from Birkirkara and Christian Cassar from Marsaxlokk. He said that Towns, Alcorse and Amamu’ had been confirmed on new contracts adding that it was possible for the club to acquire new players within the transfer window.

Said confirmed that Nwoke has been released following the player’s going on holiday without returning adding that the club had registered a dispute with the Malta Football Association on his conduct.
