Three Maltese players have reached the last 32 of the Six Reds individual competition at the EBSA European Snooker Championship in Sofia, Bulgaria.
During the tenth day of the championship, the group stage of the Six Reds competition was completed, with the players who qualified for the knockout stages confirmed.
A total of 76 players from 24 different countries took part in this competition.
Five Maltese players competed in the event: Aaron Busuttil, Chris Peplow, Alex Borg, Joseph Casha and his 15-year-old son Caiden Casha, who was among the youngest participants.
Busuttil, Peplow and Borg managed to qualify for the last 32 and will all be in action during the first session of matches on Saturday.
Peplow, who won Group H, will face Germany’s Christian Richter. Busuttil, who finished second in Group C, will take on Frenchman Niel Vincent, while Borg, who finished second in Group U, will face England’s Halim Hussain.
If both Busuttil and Borg win their respective matches, they will meet each other in the last 16.
The last 32, last 16 and quarter-final stages will all be completed on Saturday, while the competition will conclude on Sunday with the two semi-finals and the final.
The Maltese players’ final commitment at this year’s EBSA European Snooker Championship will be The Shoot Out.
