The Malta Snooker Academy played host to a high-stakes night of competition on Wednesday, 11th February 2026, with action spanning five different divisions. The evening was highlighted by a marathon Premier League clash and some impressive heavy scoring in the lower divisions.

In the featured match of the CE Installations Premier League, Emanuel Mallia showed immense resilience to overcome Frans Mintoff in a seven-frame thriller. The match was a see-saw encounter that went the full distance, with Mallia eventually securing a 4–3 victory. The win provides a significant boost to Mallia’s standing in the elite tier as the season enters a critical phase.
