Malta’s remaining representative at this year’s European Championship in Sofia is Roberta Cutajar.
Yesterday she advanced to the semi-finals of the women’s com-petition following a fine 4-1 win over Germany’s Anne Hirsh.
Earlier in the evening, Alex Borg failed to progress from the Last 16 in the men’s tournament as he went down heavily 5-1 to Daniel Wells, of Wales.
Cutajar did well to eliminate Russian Irina Gorbataya in the previous round and she was equally outstanding yesterday on her way to reaching the last four at the expense of the more-quoted Hirsh who only managed to level matters at one-all before suc-cumbing to defeat.
Borg fell 3-0 behind but then pulled one back with a break of 67. However, Wells dashed the Malta champion’s hopes of a comeback with some excellent shots to reach the last eight in convincing style.
