The Malta Weightlifting Federation recently held their last event of the year at the Cottonera Sports Complex. Lifters were classified in two competitions - the Challenge Trophy and Ranking Tournament.

Coaches Jesmond Caruana and Mark Pirotta were responsible for the athletes' preparation. David Saliba was in charge of the organisation with Charles Azzopardi and Carmelo Briffa being the judges on the day.

The Challenge Trophy for men was won by Clint Vella. He finished with 21 points ahead of second-placed Clive Zammit who had 15 points.

The section for female lifters was claimed by Kimberly Coleiro. She was only 0.25 points better off than Stephanie Vella.

The top six places in the Ranking Tournament for men were filled by Noel Coleiro 315 points, Kevin Cassar 277, Martin Mifsud 230, Manwel Schembri 229, Clint Crech 229, and Stephen Borg 202.

Rodianne Mifsud 140 points, Vella, 88, and Coleiro, 50, finished in that order in the women's Ranking Tournament.
