Open Division

Allan Simmons (Sco) beats Helen Gipson (Sco) 552-501 in an exciting game that I transcribed and posted under Games in our event coverage. With Simon Gillam (Sco) losing 521-382 to Theresa Brousson (MLT), the top three now are all Scots: Simmons 14-0 +1694, Gillam 10-4 +782 and Gipson 9-5 +881.

The last game of the round comes in after the next round starts playing; Graham Bonham (Eng) loses to Nicky Vella-Laurenti (MLT) 328-337, and would have won without a ten-point time penalty.

Second Division

Mario Seychell (MLT) regains the lead with a 403-337 win over top seed Daniel Milton (USA). One game behind are Sammy Mangion (MLT) and Josephine Mayo (MLT).
