The Malta Amateur Wrestling Federation is preparing to hold the second edition of the Open Championships on December 8.
In last year’s inaugural tournament, the Maltese national team carried the honours after fending off the competition provided by wrestlers from Wales and England. The Open Championships will again be staged at the Naxxar Boys Secondary School.
This has been a very fruitful season for the local wrestling fraternity with the national team winning the Wales Open and a competition in Bradford, England.
The results achieved underline the progress of the Maltese wrestlers under the direction of national coach Jesmond Giordimaina and his assistant Abraham Vassallo.
