Fabrizio Coco and Tony Credentino pulled off another "Italian Job" when they took the top two honours at the latest WASPA at the Willoughby home base.
With a solid field of 11 players, Fabrizio first had to overcome the hurdle of the Northern Falcons' young guns in Oli Ollnow and Torben Pfister, whom he beat 1-0 and 2-0 respectively.
Group 2 was there for the taking by Eliot, who started with a comfortable 3-0 win over John Palamara. Jonty Brener moved into qualifying contention when he beat Geoff Sirmai 1-0, then got the all important point in a 0-0 draw with John. Geoff's hopes were dashed when he lost 3-0 to Eliot.
In Group 3, Tony showed his continued rise in the Sydney scene with a gutsy 2-1 win over Hermann Kruse, while Steve Dettre just edged Neil Brener 1-0.
Hermann then thumped Neil, while Steve and Tony drew 0-0, putting the pressure back on Hermann who needed to beat Steve to qualify. But after falling a goal behind, he worked his hardest, but could only manage a late equaliser and went out of the tournament.

The semi finals were incredibly tight, with Fabrizio beating Steve 1-0, and then Tony beating Eliot 2-1 on shots.
The final was a tremendous tussle, with Tony putting up a great fight to force shots, where Fab won out 2-1.
Another great night for the Falcons, and we must thank players from Sydney and the Hipfingerz for continuing to support us.
Next up is the AGFA Cup on May 19 -- a day not to be missed, as we farewell Hermann, Oli and Hermine from our club.
