The experienced Jason Peplow, aged 46, quarterfinalist in the first edition of Men European Championships, that took place in Scheveningen (Netherlands), will face his big friend and rising star from maltese snooker Brian Cini, aged 18, in Men European Snooker Championship Last 16 round, to be played in Prague next Thursday June 11th, from 13 hours.

Also remarkable the win of Schachar Ruberg (Israel) over Greg Casey (Ireland): ‘Sacha’ will now play one of the main favourites, Kacper Filipiak (Poland). A word also to Jamie Rhys Clarke (Wales), who threw out of the competition another hope of Poland, Krysztof Wróbel.
