The next official match of the season for the Magpies is against Gzira on Monday 2nd May 2011 in Centenary stadium in Ta' Qali. For both teams, this is the last match in the second division league for this season. For the Magpies, it will be the last one in this division, since they have already achieved promotion. Hopefully we can stay in the higher divisions for a very long time. The only scope of this match for Rabat is to try and position in second place. Most of the thoughts are already on the final match that will be played a couple of days after. Lets honor this match and end the league with a victory to boost the moral for the final rush of the season. When they encountered each other earlier this season, Rabat won the match with a comfortable result of five goals against one goal.
