The later had his chances to recover and get into the match but missing with the ex European Champion Cuschieri meant a no return and Big Tony went on to clinch the tournament and book a place in the National Team A that will be representing our country in the coming European Championships being held in our country between the 16th &amp; 21st February 2020.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em><a href=\"https:\/\/cuescore.com\/tournament\/db+Euro+Mens+Ranking+Tournament+1\/6448869?fbclid=IwAR0Ngg5k8tj8GQhAhrP10xCm7ujRoT7nyQpisdcY2GKL6s-O2Qceu3kn2Rs\">Click here to view all results<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Watch the game<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/maltapoolassociation\/videos\/502364707271894\/<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Anton Cuschieri opened the season on a positive note grabbing the first Mens Ranking Tournament &#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.maltapoolassociation.net\/?p=1351\">Read More&#8230;<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a class=\"excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.maltapoolassociation.net\/?p=1351\">Read More...<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1351","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-ranks"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.maltapoolassociation.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1351","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.maltapoolassociation.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.maltapoolassociation.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.maltapoolassociation.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.maltapoolassociation.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1351"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.maltapoolassociation.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1351\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1900,"href":"https:\/\/www.maltapoolassociation.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1351\/revisions\/1900"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.maltapoolassociation.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1351"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.maltapoolassociation.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1351"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.maltapoolassociation.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1351"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
