Aaron Busuttil Crowned Local Snooker Champion For Third Time

With an excellent performance on the second day of the finals of the local Premier Snooker Championship, Aaron Busuttil was crowned local Snooker champion after defeating Brian Cini, who had won the previous edition against Busuttil himself.

This was the third time that Aaron Busuttil became the local Snooker champion, and it was also the sixth final between the two who are undoubtedly the two best players in this sport in recent years.

This year, the Malta Billiards and Snooker Association introduced a format where this final is won from the best of 19 frames played over two days. After the first day played on Wednesday, it was Cini who had a lead of just only one frame and finished the first session 5-4.

During the second day, Busuttil was in formidable form and did not give Cini any chance to get into the game, so much that he won the first five frames of the second session for a provisional score of 9-5. Although Cini won the next frame, Busuttil closed the match in 16 frames for a final score of 10-6.

After the final, Mr. Marlon Brincat, the Managing Director of the sponsors of the Premier Snooker Championship, CE Installations Limited, and the President of the Malta Billiards & Snooker Association, Ivan Brincat, presented the trophy to Aaron Busuttil, who has engraved his name on the prestigious trophy for a third time after having achieved this success in the 2022/23 and 2023/24 seasons.
