Sara Xuereb won a silver medal at the European Youth Championships which are currently being held in Vienna, Austria.
This is the best result achieved by Xuereb in these championships as she had also stepped on the podium at this level when returning home with a bronze medal.
After winning her squad with a brilliant 208 average, Xuereb went on to place third overall amongst 65 players.
In the semi final she disposed of German bowler Nele Niehusenand with ease, and went on to face the overall leader, Victoria Kashirskaya from Russia, in the final.
The match developed into a pulsating neck and neck game, which was finally decided in the last frame where Xuereb unfortunately left a split that allowed the Russian bowler to win.
Xuereb now goes on to bowl the Masters on Easter Sunday.
