The Neptunes sqaud Winners of Maltese First Division

Neptunes WPSC is a leading waterpolo club from San Giljan in Malta. Founded in 1929, it has won all the major waterpolo honours in its coveted history. One of its most notable coaches was Italian Gianni Lonzi.

The club has won two summer leagues on the trot in 2006 and 2007 under Croatian coach Sergio Afric. In 2007 Maltese clubs were allowed to sign a foreign player and Neptune's choice was none other than the serbian captain Vladimir Vujasinovic. Recently one of the club's young talents Stevie Camilleri joined VK Partizan on a 6 month loan deal after being suggested to the club officials by Vladimir Vujasinovic. The club has other very promising youngsters like Sean Gravina, Timmy Aguis, Ryan Sciortino and Jordan Cammileri who is Stevie Camilleri's younger brother.
