André Cassar Agonisingly Misses Final After Shoot‑Off Heartbreak

Malta came painfully close to securing a place in the Final at the European shooting qualifiers, with André Cassar finishing a heartbreaking 9th, level on 116 points with Turkey’s Mustafa Sahin and France’s Casper Maine. With only one spot remaining, the trio were forced into a tense shoot‑off and Cassar was narrowly eliminated, ending his run just inches away from a historic qualification.

It was a cruel twist for the Maltese shooter, who had performed with consistency and composure throughout the round. His 116 placed him among Europe’s elite on the day, underlining his rapid progress and competitive edge at international level.

Compatriot Liam Sciberras also impressed, finishing 12th with 113, delivering a solid and disciplined performance that kept Malta firmly in the mix during the qualification stages.
