The FUEL10K Squash Open last Saturday saw a great turnout, with more than 50 players competing across all grades. It was a full day of exciting matches and excellent sportsmanship, with strong support around the courts throughout the tournament.
Junior players made a real impact across the day. Luca Michelotti showed clear progress to win the D event, with Andrew Micallef St John finishing 2nd and junior Alexis De Giorgio 3rd. Promising juniors Zach Mifsud, Dean Borg, George Borg, Gwen Formosa and Tamsin Formosa also impressed.
In the C event, Adam Csanyi took the win, with 10-year-old Kai Ben-Ari finishing an impressive 2nd and Peter van der Watt 3rd. Junior Jamie Grima also showed encouraging improvement during the tournament.
The B grade produced the most closely contested matches. Mark Zammit Vincenti overcame Venita De Giorgio in a thrilling quarter-final before defeating Brian Tonna and then Ollie Raine in the final. Well done also to juniors Leonid Schembri and Emma Inglott.
Daniel Hutchines won the A event after defeating Sam Bonello in the final, with Paul Borg finishing 3rd. Congratulations as well to juniors Leo Ben-Ari and Jocelyn Lydall for competing strongly at the top level.
For ease of reference, here are the podium finishes across all grades:
A sincere thank you to Colette Sultana for volunteering her time and ensuring the smooth running of the tournament, and to FUEL10K for their valued sponsorship.
Beyond the results, the tournament was a reminder of the strength of the squash community at Marsa Sports Club — from the supportive atmosphere throughout the day to the encouraging progress shown by many players, particularly the juniors. Well done to everyone who took part and supported the tournament.
We look forward to welcoming players back for more Squash & Pickleball Section events in the coming months.

Last Sunday’s Carnival Party at Marsa Sports Club was a great success, and it was a pleasure to welcome so many families to the Club for an afternoon of fun, games, and Carnival spirit. From the costumes to the energy on the day, it was a lovely celebration for the little ones — and a great reminder of what makes our community special.
The children enjoyed a packed programme, including face painting, craft activities, and plenty of sand play, alongside games and music that kept the atmosphere lively throughout the afternoon.
A special thank you to JumpMalta for their support, and to Kulu for providing the space and helping us host the event in a comfortable setting.
Thank you again to everyone who attended. We look forward to welcoming you back to Marsa Sports Club for more family events throughout the year.

If you’re looking for an organised, social afternoon of tennis with plenty of matchplay, the BigMat Afternoon American Tournament is one to add to your calendar — especially as it’s being held on a public holiday, making it easier for more players to join in.
Taking place at Marsa Sports Club on Thursday 19 March 2026, this event is built around the American-format style of play — meaning you’ll get a good variety of partners and opponents across the afternoon, with matches moving along at a lively pace.
American tournaments are ideal for players who want match experience without the stop-start feel of a traditional knockout draw.
You’ll play a series of mixed doubles rounds, and each game counts towards your overall tally. It’s a great format if you enjoy doubles, want to meet more players, and prefer a tournament that feels structured while still keeping things light and social.
To help ensure enjoyable matches for everyone, players will be placed into two divisions based on level:
This approach keeps matchplay balanced and gives players the chance to compete within the right group.
Prizes will be awarded to the winners and runners-up in each division, based on total games won across all rounds, with vouchers kindly supplied by BigMat Malta.
If you’d like to take part, make sure you submit your entry by 12 March 2026.
For any queries, you can contact tennis@marsasportsclub.com.
Our thanks to BigMat Malta for supporting this tournament and supplying prizes. Sponsor support helps the Tennis & Padel Section continue organising events that keep our courts active and our tennis community growing.

February is one of those months where the Club really comes to life — with something happening across multiple sections almost every week.
From family-friendly events to tournaments, league action and social sessions, there’s plenty for members to take part in and enjoy, whether you’re playing, supporting, or simply staying connected with what’s happening around the Club.
One of the best things about Marsa Sports Club is how different parts of the Club can be busy at the same time — and February is a perfect example.
This month includes a mix of:

We’ve now moved past the mid-point of the Marsa Sure Padel League season — but the weather hasn’t exactly been on our side. A number of fixtures have been postponed or rained off, so some teams have matches in hand as we head into the next stretch.
The current round is expected to wrap up by end of March, so it’s a good time for teams to start locking in new dates and getting those postponed matches played.
Below is a quick division-by-division snapshot.
Max – Ben (Team I) currently lead the way on 15 points, but Roberto – Edward (Team D) are right in the hunt — unbeaten so far and sitting on 12 points with a big +36 games difference.
It’s also tight in the mid-table: Melchior – Luke (Team A), Jean Paul – Kurt (Team C), Kevin – Martina (Team H) and Andrew – Clyde (Team F) are all clustered on 4 points, so a couple of results can completely reshape the order.
A strong division so far, with Andrew – Ian (Team E) setting the pace on 17 points and a +36 GD. Nigel – Matthew (Team I) sit second on 10 points, while Adrian – Malcolm (Team H) have stayed unbeaten in their matches to date and are well placed to climb as rescheduled fixtures are played.
The battle for the middle places is very much alive too — Michael – John (Team F) and Adrian – Morgan (Team D) are both within touching distance, and every match now has “swing” potential.
Christopher – Jose (Team D) have been flawless so far, leading Division 3 on 15 points with a +10 SD. Alex – Alan (Team B) are the closest challengers on 9 points, with Clive – Roderick (Team E) next on 6.
With several teams having played fewer matches due to postponements, there’s still plenty to play for — the second half of this division could move quickly once fixtures start landing consistently.
Rita – Romina (Team I) are top on 15 points, while Nihal – Pierre (Team D) hold second on 9.
The big story here is the logjam just below: Claire – Renae (Team A), John – Mark (Team E) and Malcolm – Lucia (Team H) are all on 6 points — and Claire – Renae are still unbeaten so far. Expect this one to stay tight right through to the end-of-March finish.
Great energy in the Beginners group so far. Rowena – Francesca (Team E) lead on 15 points, followed closely by Jessica – Jürgen (Team D) on 13.
A big one to watch: Ashley – Robert (Team A) are unbeaten and sitting on 11 points with matches in hand — so this category is far from settled yet. Christina – Rose (Team B) and Susana – Nina (Team G) are also right in the mix as the round heads into the final stretch.
