SATURDAY, JUNE 17
FINAL QUALIFYING SQUADS 'M' AND 'N':
SQUAD 'M'
It didn't take long for the 2006 Malta Open's second 300 to be hit. The third game of the opening squad on Saturday morning saw the magic perfecto come in the third game from the talented hands of  Tobias Karlsson (pictured). The tall Swede from Stockholm isn't quite sure just how many 300 games he has to his credit - "something between 15 and 20," he thinks.
Karlsson also has the honor of being the squad leader with 1444, ten pins ahead of Mark de Jong of the Netherlands and 20 atop Nunzio Romano of Italy.
Past Malta Open champion Melissa Anastasi of Malta came in with 1260 to lead the distaff group to consolidate her position for the next round.
Just the final six qualifying games now to be bowled and then the men will cut to 48 and the women to 36 for a further four games later this evening.

Thomas Gross of Austria held off all challengers to lead the men's division into the second round of the 2006 Malta Open but Sweden's Rebecka Larsen, 25, from Varberg (pictured), lost the exclusivity of first place when Zara Glover of England equalled her 1356 in the final squad. However, the Swede holds onto pole position in her third Malta Open as she had the highest last game.
