Mark Gauci was the winner of the second local event, organised by the MTFSA and held at the Victor Tedesco Stadium.

Three events of this kind are scheduled so that divisions will be formed at the end of the season to establish the Maltese champion. This competition was held on a tournament basis where 16 players took part. Four groups of three and one group of four meant that only the first two players from each group managed to qualify for the next stage.

Two matches of the preliminary round took place soon after the groups in which Hansel Mallia and Kenneth Attard lost to Mark Gauci and Massimo Cremona 2-3 and 1-2 respectively.

At the quarter final stage, Charles Aquilina and Derek Conti lost to Mark Gauci and Samuel Bartolo while Joe Mifsud beat Massimo Cremona with a 2-0 margin and Ilai Zammit beat Adrian Bonnici 2-1.

In the semis, Gauci won his encounter 5-2 against Ilai Zammit while Bartolo lost to Mifsud 2-1 in extra time.

The final between Gauci and Mifsud was a very open match where Mifsud was twice ahead but did not retain the lead and eventually lost 3-2.
