Western Flickers Handicap Challenge 2019


It's a wrap on WFW33 (Western Flickers WASPA) Handicap Challenge!

In another successful Western Flickers event, we had a great turnout of 14 flickers - including 5 players competing in their first WASPA (World Amateur Subbuteo Players Association) table football tournament !

Besides the usual Open category, we also had a special "Rising Stars" category for newcomers to the game.

As this was our annual handicap challenge tournament, it made for some unpredictable results in the Open category. In the end, Beth Eveleigh faced off with Benny who managed to overcome his heavy handicap to reach the final. Beth was playing in her first WASPA final and was hoping for a winning final debut, but Benny managed to snatch the victory.

In the "Rising Stars" category, Benedict surprised all to reach the final becoming our youngest ever WASPA finalist at only 6 years old ! In the final, he matched up with talented Josh who was also playing in his first WASPA event and improving markedly with every match. Whilst Benedict and Josh drew their group stage match, Josh proved too strong in the final and comfortably won 2-0.

Thanks to everyone for attending WFW33 and helping to make this event such an enjoyable on.

GO PELICANS !
