The Maltese side achieved promotion to European Challenge II after they beat Hungarian champions Epitok 2-1 in Turkey.
This was Qormi’s second win in the competition after they had beaten Kilppari 2-1 in their opening match. Their only defeat came against Nizip who prevailed 1-0.

“Their victory in the final of the tournament and consequent promotion to European Challenge II is a success not only for Maltese Hockey but Maltese sport in general.
“This success is no doubt attributable to the quality and hard training of the squad as well as the organisation and planning by the coaching team, management, as well as their strong following of supporters.
