2nd Silver Medal for Maltese Bowlers at the Mediterranean Bowling Championships.
Mauro Anastasi and Nicholas Muscat were in action again in Ankara, Turkey, this time in the Male Doubles , with another stellar performance as the team scored 2627 (218.9 average ), placing second just 10 pins behind Cyprus (2637) and 21 ahead of 3rd placed Spain. With Team Malta lying in 3rd place after 5 games, Anastasi and Muscat shot huge games of 254 and 247 respectively to go ahead of previous leaders Spain, and it was only another perfect 300 game from Iraklis from Cyprus that prevented Malta from getting gold. Muscat’s 1385 total was second best of the day, well supported by Anastasi’s 1242.
This is the second silver for Malta and the second one for Anastasi after his silver in the Singles event.
Next up: Women’s doubles with Sue Abela and Cynthia Frendo Duca.
