[2] Although a football ground close to the Zabbar Gate already existed in 1903, the first teams in Żabbar were only formed a few years later in the first decade of the century.

The Zabbar Gate Football Ground was considered as the home-ground of St. George's of Cospicua where they hosted some of the top army and navy teams that were visiting Malta at the time.

Both teams took part in the MFA Challenge Cup but were eliminated in the first round.

Zabbar Amateurs won Section B after beating Rabat FC 1–0 in a replay after a first decider ended in a 1–1 draw.

MFA competitions were back in 1944 and Zabbar FC won the Division 2 Christmas Cup after beating Msida United 1–0 in the final.

They first took part in the FA Trophy in 1946 when they were eliminated by champions Ħamrun Spartans F.C.

St. Patrick finished sixth on level points with Lija Athletic in the Second Division League 1963–64.
