Dejan Grech wins the Champion ta’ Malta competition
Dejan Grech is the winner of the Champion ta’ Malta competition after winning against Leon Azzopardi 10-7 in the final.
It was a well-fought contest between two heavyweights of local blackball with Azzopardi establishing the advantage twice but with Grech always on the ball and ready to restore parity. In the end, Dejan Grech was focused and concentrated and rarely gave Azzopardi any chance to win some consecutive frames and eventually being crowned as the local blackball champion.
