Named after
Chev. A Cassar Toreggiani, O.B.E., this
K.O. competition was originally contested
by the winners of the Malta League , the
winners of the Malta KO Competition, the
winners of the United Services Cup and the
winners of the United Services KO Competition.
The British Services sides were strong
and powerful and often included British
international players amongst their ranks
which were British servicemen situated in
Malta or serving time on board ships of
the British Mediterranean Fleet. Throught
the 20's and 30's, there were many epic
and titanic battles between British Army
Regiments, (namely the Dorsetshire, Royal
Antillery, 2nd Worcestershire and 1st Queen's
Regiment), and British Naval Sides, ( namely
the HMS Barham, HMS Queen Elizabeth, HMS
Revenge and 1st and 4th Destroyer Flotilla),
as well as Maltese sides like Floriana and
Sliema.
By the mid 30's, the British dominance
began to wane and right up to its final
edition in 1967-68, with one or two exceptions,
the competiton was played between the four
leading Maltese clubs who finished in the
top four places in the previous season.
The proceed of matches normally went to
charitable institutions.
*In 1932-33, the final was not contested
and the cup was held by both sides for six
months.
