They stunned the more-quoted United States side 10-7 in the opener and sealed top spot in the group with a 13-3 hammering of Kazakhstan. They bounced back from their 13-8 defeat to Turkey with an 8-6 win against the Egyptians and moved into the semi-finals of the Gold Group, where they re-matched against the United States. Even though they lost 10-7 against the United States, they settled for fourth place in the Gold Group after losing 9-7 to Brazil. Still, it’s a remarkable result for them as they ended their commitments [...]

Iż-żgħażagħ Maltin naqqxu isimhom fl-Istorja bl-ewwel parteċipazzjoni tagħhom fil-Kampjonat Dinji li sar f’Volos fil-Greċja. Huma impressjonaw mhux ftit, meta għelbu lit-tim aktar kwotat tal-Istati Uniti fil-logħba inawgurali bl-iskor ta’ 10-7 u rebħu l-grupp wara li ġabu fix-xejn lill-Każakistan 13-3. Huma ġew minn telfa ta’ 13-8 kontra t-Turkija, meta għelbu lill-Eġittu 8-6 u għaddew għas-semifinali tal-Gold Group, fejn kellhom jerġgħu jaffrontaw lill-Istati Uniti. Minkejja li din id-darba l-Maltin tilfu 10-7, assiguraw ir-raba’ post fil-Gold Group wara li tilfu 9-7 kontra l-Brażil. Xorta waħda dawn ir-riżultati miksuba huma ferm pożittivi u b’hekk il-Maltin temmew dawn l-impenji fit-12-il post fost il-25 pajjiż li ħa sehem minn madwar id-dinja.
