The men’s team has won 6 Championships, 4 Knock Outs, 5 Super Cups, 1 Shield and 1 LB Cup. Most of these achievements came during the previous collaboration with Eden Leisure group. This year, the men’s team has been strengthened through the additions of Paul Ferrante as a head coach and players David Bugeja and Robert Bonnici. All three have won the last 2 championships and David Bugeja was also voted as Player of the year for season 2015-16. They join a young and very promising team and with the help of Cynergi’s sponsorship, this year’s objective is to have Rabat Depiro’s men’s team back on the honors list.
