Richard Stock wins the Worcester tournament

Here is the report from http://subbuteoassociation.co.uk/ of the Worcester subbuteo tournament played under WASPA banner with the advanced rules

With a large percentage of players from the Summer Cup unable to attend, we welcomed new and old faces back to the club to compete for the Autumn Cup. 13 players attended the second tournament of season 9, with Summer Cup winner John Lauder returning to defend his title.

It appears John’s win last time caused quite a stir amongst his fellow club members in the Cardiff league, with 3 fellow Welshmen joining John to compete in the Autumn Cup. Played under the WASPA banner to the old Advanced Rules with original Subbuteo equipment, the competition was a reminder of how fun and unpredictable the original game can be to a lot of players that have just played to the FISTF rules for the past couple of years.

With many a laugh and a few shock results, the Autumn Cup proved to be yet another successful tournament held by WRP7. The teams:
Adam Lundy – Lundy Island Puffins
Adam Washbrook – team name TBC
Matthew Henry – Philyceltics
Darren Barnes – team name TBC
Richard Tubb – Harvington Sporting Atari
Peter Laver – Oldfield Park Rangers
Paul Mahoney – Worc QPR
Thomas Hawkins – Tomahawks
Bill Thomas – Brentwood
John Lauder – Barry Town Utd
Richard Stock – team name TBC
Gareth Thomas – team name TBC
Any Pyke – Pykes Pirates


Due to the odd number of contestants, the group stages were drawn as 3 groups of 3 and 1 group of 4.

Group 1
Matthew Henry 5 Pts GD +4
Adam Lundy 5 Pts GD +3
Darren Barnes 2 Pts GD -2
Adam Washbrook 0 Pts GD -5
