Espadon cueist Mario Brincat is the winner of the fourth ranking tournament of the season.

In the final, played at the Żejtun Pandora Club last week, Brincat beat San Ġwann BC's Clint Azzopardi 8-3. The latter had an ideal opportunity to level matters at 3-3 but missed an easy shot to concede the frame and practically paved the way for Brincat's victory.

In the semi-finals, Brincat beat Ivan Rizzo 7-3 and Azzopardi eliminated Duncan Pisani 7-1.

In the U-18 final, victory went to Nicholas Spiteri, of Cubana Bar. He produced a superb display to have the better of the more-quoted Lothar Mallia, of Beland Club, 6-3.

This was Spiteri's first success in a ranking event. In the semi-finals, he beat Wayne Farrugia 5-1 while Mallia ousted Mark Hili 5-1.
