The Malta Amateur Wrestling Federation has just held its second tournament from the 2007/08 British Airways League for youths at the Naxxar Secondary School gymnasium.

The competition was open for combined and individual weight categories from which the various winners emerged.

Adam Vella, Matthew Bonnici, Andrea Saliba and Aidan Buhagiar kept the upward trend going, technically and physically, as others like David Zammit, Duncan Farrugia and Jack Lineker showed better qualities than their last appearance on the mat.

Pawlu Farrugia, Jesmond Giordimaina and Simon A. Bonello were the officials in charge.
