maltatoday | WEDNESDAY • 12 DECEMBER 2018 20 FOOTBALL AUTOCROSS SPORTS Malta U-15 girls obtain second win in Thailand tournament THE Malta U-15 girls team se- cured their second straight win in the Development Tournament, currently being played in Thai- land after beating Singapore 4-0 at the Chang Arena in Buriram yesterday. Led by coach Dorianne Theu- ma, the Maltese girls took the initiative from the outset. They made their pressure count on the 13th minute when Kailey Willis headed home a corner to open her account in this tour- nament. Theuma' girls continued to show the better ideas. They doubled their lead on the 26th minute with a fine long- range effort from Veronique Mifsud. Moments later, Mifsud tried her luck with a free-kick from outside the area but her shot was marginally wide. The Maltese remained the better side for the remainder of the half. They increased their advantage early in the second half when Willis scored her second goal of the game with a close-range finish. Theuma made a number of substitutions in the second half but the Maltese girls continued to control the game, adding an- other goal through Willis who thus completed her hat-trick. The Malta U-15 girls' team wrap up their tournament com- mitments against hosts Thai- land, this Thursday (1.30pm – Malta time). Malta formation J. Caruana, L.C. Dimech (64 N. Blundell), A.

ON Sunday 16 December 2018 As- socjazzjoni Sport Muturi u Karozzi will be making another attempt to open the WotoMoto National Enduro Championship 2018/2019. Once again the competition season will be spread over six events where five races will be conducted in Malta and one is to be held in Gozo. This Championship sea- son will again be very well supported by several quarry owners in Malta and Gozo who cooperate with ASMK by allowing the Association to temporar- ily construct an Enduro race circuit in their quarry as these quarries bear the right environment for the sport of Moto Enduro. Despite all this the first event will be held at ASMK Sports Complex in Ta' Qali and the program begins at 10am. Non-ASMK members are also welcome to compete in any of the two classes on the day. For this second season the firm BE- TA of the Wotomoto Company Ltd will again be the main sponsor of the '2018/2019 BETA Enduro Challenge' right from the first event of the League. This day's event at the ASMK complex in Ta' Qali consists of a Warm-up and two individual Timed Laps by each competitor one by one on a specially laid common track where some obsta- cles are also laid for this event which is timed by electronic equipment. The winner of the day who records the fastest times during races which are electronically controlled will be declared as the Winner. In addition to the trophy of the day the lucky winner will also take home a brand new BETA RR 300cc 2T motorcycle. This motorcycle is given by the Be- ta firm for a year to the winner who is bound to participate during the whole season and do all the training sessions required in preparation for all and other events held during the tournament. Meanwhile on Sunday 9th Decem- ber 2018 ASMK held the first event of the Pasta Poiatti National Autocross Championship for 2018/2019 where 16 competitors were registered and divided into two classes, those for the Modified and Standard cars. During the day none of the com- petitors was penalised or warned for foul play and each competitor dem- onstrated excellence in driving on soft ground. During the Heats Joseph Micallef on his Opel Corsa won two Heats from three and ensured his place in the Class A Final Race Start. Micallef was followed by Terence Azz- opardi in 2nd place and by Melo Zam- mit in 3rd place where all three races drive on Opel Corsa cars. During the Race Final Micallef took the lead and continued to dominate the pressure where he also won this Class A Race Final. Micallef was always followed by Azzopardi while third place winner is Ryan Scicluna on a Ford Fiesta. From Class B for Modified cars we had these results. Joseph Spiteri on an Opel Corsa won this class followed by Theo Micallef on a Ford Fiesta while third place winner is Jonathan Vella on a Ford Fiesta. In the Standard Class Johann Vel- la on an Opel Nova dominated and won this class. Jerome Peplow on Kia Avella followed in 2nd place and third place was won by Kyle Agius on an Opel Nova.
