Team Malta at the athletics European Team Championships (Third League) looked well poised to attain a pre-set target of a mid-table finish at the end of Day One events yesterday. With Bulgaria leading the chase for one of the two promotion slots, along with Denmark, Azerbaijan and Cyprus, the locals are looking to win enough points to finish in the top half of the competition which comes to a close today. The Maltese left a very good impression in the relay events yesterday. Other remarkable results were obtained by Francesca Xuereb (400m), Diane Borg (100m) and Alessandra Pace (triple jump). Today's first event starts at 4 p.m.
