Allen to take on Borg for top spot
Gareth Allen won his 5th match in Group M and will now face off with Matla’s Alex Borg tomorrow morning for the No.1 spot in the group. The Welsh player defeated Lituania’s Simonas Dragunas 4-0 with a top break of 71 in the third frame while Bernard Bernhardsson and Jaroslaw Kowalski will also go head to head to sort out 3rd position in the group.
In Group B David Lilley also notched up his 5th of the tournament beating M Relich 4-2 while also in this group Bratislav Krastev’s 4-1 over Davor Bobek now leaves four players on two wins each which should make for an interesting finish to the group.
Other results in the Men’s section saw wins for Duncan Bezzina and also Daniel Kandi, although Daniel lost a 3-0 lead with Siarhei Melnichowak coming back to 3-3 before Daniel took the last frame to get over the finish line.
Masters Section
There were two games in Group H this afternoon with wins for both Richard Kornburger and Costas Konnaris.
