George Papadopoulos winner in Helsinki

Some nations have less activity than others but it's always great to hear from isolated groups of players. In Helsinki, Finland five players met this week-end for a very international tournament. This was the first WASPA tournament in Finland this year. Besides Finnish players Kari Hakkarainen and Teemu Sihvola, George Papadopoulos from Greece and Australians Bob green and Eliot Kennedy were taking part. After the group stage, George Papadopoulos defeated Teemu Sihvola on shots after a close final (1-1) while Kari Hakkarainen defeated Eliot Kennedy to take the 3rd spot (2-0). More importantly it was a day of celebrations for old friends meeting around Subbuteo tables, in particular for Teemu and Eliot who had not met for 15 years! Thanks to Kari for oganising this great day!
