'Mature' Maguire on to a winner

Stephen Maguire’s decision to show greater maturity at the table continued to pay dividends as he reached the quarter-finals of the Malta Cup at the Portomaso Hilton Conference Centre today.

Maguire beat Mark King 5-3 to book his place in the last eight of a world- ranking event for the first time since he won the UK Championship title in December 2004.
