Ferdinando Apap won the Under 20 Snooker Tournament by
winning 3-1 against Luke Meilak at the St. Joseph Band
Club. In a highly competitive match, Apap won the first
frame only for Meilak to produce a fabulous break of 25
to bring the score to 1-1. Apap then deservedly won the
next two frames to clinch the first ever under 20 title
organized in Ghajnsielem.
The tournament proved popular with these youngsters. A
total of twelve players participated; seven of these
players never entered a competitive snooker event
before. The players were divided into 4 groups of 3
players each. Two players from each group qualified to
the quarter finals. There were some surprises too,
particularly in the semi final stages were Ferdinando
Apap and Luke Meilak eliminated favourites Shaun Attard
and Andre Xuereb to reach the final.
The snooker season has now come to an end. A new season
of this popular sport will start in mid-September. All
activities will be organized by a newly formed and
highly motivated sub-committee.
