Three Maltese Table Football players, Joseph Mifsud, Hansel Mallia and Massimo Cremona, recently figured in two international tournaments abroad. Mifsud and Mallia play their club Table Football with UK team English Premier League.

In the teams' competition, English Premier League made it all the way to the final in the opening tournament, in Belgium, only to lose the decisive contest. Here, 120 players took part.

Cremona reached the last 16 in the singles but lost 3-0 to the eventual winner. Mifsud was eliminated in the early stages as Mallia made a better showing and reached the quarter-finals.

English Premier League fared better in the London competition as they won the teams' event. In the singles, Mifsud and Mallia scored useful points in the world rankings as they advanced to the last eight. Mifsud was ousted by a golden goal and Mallia went down to the world's no.1 seed.
