Report
Zabbar St. Patrick, founded in 1912 were not named St. Patrick until 1948 when they sought to align themselves with other areas seeking independence from England. They were relegated after finishing second last in the 10 team Maltese Top flight in 2004-05. Another Maltese team with an Irish name was Hibernians, named, like the more famous Scottish Club of the same name in Edinburgh after an old name for Ireland (Hibernia).
