Having cancelled last year’s Malta Open due to the pandemic, this year we made an extra effort to ensure everyone was bowling in a safe environment. We had all the necessary COVID-19 measures in place and ended up with a successful event as a result.
The feedback we received from players and viewers was all positive with many players saying that they could not wait to return to the competition next year. We would like to congratulate Steven Jeeves on his latest win, he fought hard and his victory was well-deserved.”
