Birkirkara beat Melita

Academy team still unbeaten

Birkirkara Azzopardi Antiques continued where they had left off the previous week by beating Melita Wilkinson Sword 7-2 in their latest match from the Malta Table Tennis Association national league at the University Sports Hall.

Birkirkara, who had the better of champions Banks ROL before their match against Melita, are now joint first on 31 points.

However, Banks ROL, with a better set average in favour, will have a chance to seal the league title later on this month if they beat third-placed Melita in a decisive match for both teams.

The Table Tennis Academy team is the only unbeaten side in all divisions.

Division Two leaders Academy made it 11 wins from as many matches last week following yet another excellent performance on their way to beating HSBC 8-1.

In Division Three, Liverpool TTC jumped to second place following their surprise win over Melita Zeus Sports 6-3. Leaders Makuja are four points ahead of Liverpool and Melita after a 7-2 win over Aloysians.

The National League will have a short break and continues on February 16. Today, the association will be organising a ranking tournament for U-18 players.
