The second series of ranking tournaments organised by the Malta Pool Association, came to an end last week. In all, 121 players took part.

Clayton Attard, of Top Gun, took the honours after upsetting Raymond Demanuele, of Hibs Pavilion, 8-2 in the final. Attard was in top form, rarely giving away the initiative to Demanuele. In the semi-finals, Attard eliminated Duncan Bezzina 7-5 while Demanuele ousted Mario Brincat 7-2.

Attard climbed to the top of the national ranking list with 525 points. His team-mate, Antoine Cuschieri, is second on 430 ahead of Demanuele with 355. Bezzina and Brincat occupy the fourth slot with 340 points each while Mario Vassallo and Kevin Mercieca are joint fifth on 260.

Miguel Falzon's supremacy in the juniors' competition continued when, for the second time this season, had the better of Shaun Agius 6-3 in the final.

The third series of ranking tournaments will again be played at the Pandora Hall, Zejtun, starting on Monday.
