TOP 18 MEN - FOUR GAMES
Cut to eight for Round Robin

Unfortunately, Chris van Damme faded into the sunset as he had no chance of successfully defending his 2005 and 2006 Malta Open titles. It would have been nice for him to make it three in a row, "but it's not my week," he exclaimed. This was despite resorting to wearing those multi-colored trousers that helped him to the top of the podium last year. "If you're going to beat me, I hope you're not going to be dressed like that," commented Stuart Williams to Chris before battle began.
When the totals for 24 games were published it was an English show at the top of the table with Stuart Williams still leading and Nick Froggatt just eight pins aback.
A huge supporting crowd cheered Raymond Falzon Reale of Malta (pictured) to a 264 in the final game, which brought him up into eight and so a place in the round robin. The final octet now consists of three English, three Swedes, a Dutchman and a Maltese. four of these will qualify for the stepladder final.
