Belgium: wins for Ceulemans, Boulanger and Caillaux

Here are some more news from Belgium where some small events have been held in the last few days.

On Monday the latest tournament in the Flanders had a very small field of 4. The weather didn't help players to get motivation to travel to Hofstade for the monthly event. Jos Ceulemans finished on top of a group format with Frank Lannoy being runner-up, Willy De Bandt 3rd and Geert Leys as 4th.

Last Saturday the FISTF Satellite of Huy gave the chance to players who had lost in the early rounds to play some WASPA games. In the end, Richard Boulanger (Wamme SC) defeated Philippe Thys in the final while Marc De Vos (Semois) and Lulani Verhoeven made it to the semis.

Finally, Templeuve held a promotional tournament on Friday. 8 players took part in the evening but both Matthias Averlant and Vincent Coppenolle couldn't get WASPA points because of their current rankings. After the 7 sessions of 20 minutes, Eric Caillaux managed to claim the title after winning his five games. Jordan Bonte was runner-up and Sébastien Sorge was 3rd. New players Djessy and Gery Dardenne (son and father) and Olivier Blauwblomme also won some WASPA points. To be noted that among the six competitors, five of them were French but all of them are Templeuve United players as the club is very close to the French border.
