After nine weeks of sustained pressure, the popular San Michel teams tournament came to a close at the Marsa Sports Club.
The teams, each consisting of 13 male and 11 female players, were captained by Frank Ancilleri, Paula Balzan, Ray Briffa, Steffi Bugeja, Gino Debono, Joe Debono, Frank Gollcher, Graziella Radmilli, David Valenzia and Chris Zarb Cousin.
Gollcher's selection were the deserved winners of the tournament as his players rose to the occasion when it mattered most. Briffa's team constantly tailed the champions but failed to make an impact towards the end and had to settle for the runner-up spot.
Final standings: Gollcher 107; Briffa 99; Bugeja 95; Valenzia 94; G. Debono 91; Radmilli 89; J. Debono 83; P. Balzan 82; Ancilleri 81; Zarb Cousin 79.
