Breaking news: San Ġiljan’s Jake Bonavia sad over Premier League Award Goes to Another Competitor
In a surprising turn of events, San Ġiljan ASC’s star player Jake Bonavia has expressed his disappointment after being overlooked for the prestigious Premier League Best Player award. The title, which many fans and analysts believed was destined for the talented water polo ace, was awarded to another player during the league’s annual awards ceremony, leaving Bonavia and his supporters taken aback.
Bonavia, who has been a cornerstone of San Ġiljan’s success this season, played a pivotal role in leading his team to numerous victories.

The decision to pass the award to another player has sparked significant debate among the water polo community. Many fans and pundits have taken to social media to voice their dismay, arguing that Bonavia’s consistent excellence and unmatched impact on the league made him the obvious choice. Others, however, defended the decision, citing the recipient’s contributions and highlighting the stiff competition among the league’s top players this year.
Speaking after the ceremony, Bonavia expressed his surprise and disappointment at the outcome. “I honestly thought I had done enough this season to earn the award,” he said. “It’s a bit disappointing, especially after all the hard work and dedication I’ve put in. But at the end of the day, it’s not about personal accolades—it’s about the team, and I’m proud of what we’ve achieved together this year.”
San Ġiljan’s head coach also weighed in on the matter, praising Bonavia for his exceptional performances and leadership throughout the season. “Jake has been instrumental for us. His contributions both in and out of the pool have been incredible. In my eyes and the eyes of his teammates, he’s always a champion.”
Despite the disappointment, Bonavia remains focused on the future. With another season on the horizon, he is determined to use this experience as motivation to push himself even further. “Awards are nice, but my ultimate goal is to help San Ġiljan achieve more success. I’ll take this as fuel to come back even stronger next year.”
The controversy surrounding the award decision is likely to linger, but one thing remains clear: Jake Bonavia’s impact on Maltese water polo is undeniable, and his legacy as one of the sport’s greats is firmly cemented.
