Nicolai Mallia wins bronze at the European Youth Championships in Berlin

Nicolai Mallia, who had already won Bronze at last year’s EYC in Turkey, repeated the feat this year, placing third after a great run.

Mallia placed first in his squad with a splendid 1,408 series (234.7 average) to finish in third place overall after the six-game qualifying games.

Tobias Kastfelt Bryde qualified first, the Dane ending 24 pins ahead of Jaroslav Zapletal from the Czech Republic. The final qualifier from 112 youths was Frenchman Thomas Carre Layme, whose 1398 total was just enough to pip Erik Larsson from Sweden by 9 pins.

The semi-final between Mallia and Zapletal was close till the last two frames as the Czech went a few pins up and Mallia could not make up the gap, finishing with a 194 against his opponent’s 227.  

Mallia came home with a very prestigious bronze medal. Zapletal ended up winning gold as he beat Thomas 233-200 in the final.

Malta had other bowlers competing in the event. Kayden Lagana placed 23rd with a 213 average. Tomas Caruso was 66th with 194, while Samuel Caruso finished 85th with an average of 186 pins.

In the girls competition, Celianne Micallef finished in the 52nd place.

The other Maltese youths ended in 23rd place (Kayden Lagana’, 213 average), Tomas Caruso (66th place, 194 average) and Samuel Caruso (85th,186 average).
