Team Malta for European Youth Championships 2025

MBA Boys Team finalised for the European Youth Championships in Turkey.

The 4 boys who will represent Malta at the upcoming EYC have qualified after a series of 6
tournaments over the past 3 month in which all the 9 eligible boys bowled 30 games each.
With Kayden Lagana’ and Nicolai Mallia being well ahead already after 3 sessions, and with
Travis Barbara sitting in a relatively secure 3 rd position after these same 3 rounds, the
challenge revolved mainly between the next 2 youths. Tomas Caruso, and Julian
Baldacchino. While Baldacchino had the experience of having already represented Malta in
2024 at the EYC and took a strong lead after 2 sessions , Caruso was fighting for his first
opportunity and who was able to turn things around with a powerful last 4 sessions to
overtake Baldacchino and take the 4 th spot. His performance over the last few sessions was
indeed almost enough to even overtake Barbara, who survived in 3 rd place by just 24 pins
(5550 vs 5526)
The overall scores saw Lagana’ end 1 st with a super 214.7 average, followed by Mallia on a
203 average, Barbara with 185 and Caruso with 184.2 Baldacchino ended in fifth with a
172.3 average followed by the younger brother of Nicolai, Mikhail Mallia on a 170.88.
Samuel Caruso, Yacob Farrugia and Kayden Zammit ended up in 6 th , 7 th and 8 th place
respectively.
