Valéry Dejardin takes Christmas Cup
JSC Rochefort was holding a Christmas Cup on December 22. Due to the size of the venue, organizers decided to have no more than 18 players and they had to refuse some entries! In the end, players from Wammes, Rochefort TS and Temploux came to play against local players. Valéry Dejardin won the final on shots against world champion Rémy Huynh while Rémy Honet and Nathan Dizier reached the top 4 (full results to come).

New record in Templeuve
There was another Christmas Cup in Belgium but this time it was a tournament held in Templeuve. Surprisingly, there was a very high field of 22 entries with representatives from 6 clubs and strong representation from Eugies and AS Hennuyer. Organizers decided to play 2 categories as according to the level of players. The "Serie A" had 10 players and some great games. Geoffrey marain (AS Hennuyer) had an hard challenge to win the event but he managed to win top games against Steffen Despretz and Maxime Rairoux to claim another WASPA title. He was the only player to finish the evening with four wins. Steffen Despretz was runner-up while Corentin Boltz was a very surprising third in the final table with just a few more goals scored than Michaël Dupret. "Serie B" had a great field of 12 players and several competitors had the feeling it was the "chance of their life" to win a first tournament. In the end, Eric Caillaux and Damien Urbain ended the evening with 10 points but the Frenchman won the tournament thanks to a better goal-difference. After this fantastic turnout, Templeuve players are really hoping to get another great tournament on January 4.
