The 2010 National Championships, held recently in Naxxar, turned out to be a successful event, considering the healthy number of entries.

Among those who left their mark were veteran Abraham Vassallo (University), Adam Vella (Stella Maris), Andrea Saliba and David Zammit (both Naxxar secondary) and Aidan Buhagiar (Stella Maris).

Young Gary Giordimaina showed potential, indicating that he is set to emulate the feats of his father Jesmond, the current Malta coach.

Naxxar secondary topped the team event with 178 points. They were followed by Stella Maris (47), Qawra (44) and University (44).
