South Africa: The Eagles take flight again

The Johannesburg Table Football Club aka 'Joburg Eagles' hosted their annual Eagle Tournament after a few months of inactivity.

The tournament was hosted at the Eagle Loft in Broadacres.

A smallish turnout of 6 players dusted off the cobwebs and took to the green baize fields to enjoy a flicking fun filled afternoon.

A special welcome went to Rui dos Santos from Easterns TFC who travelled from Centurion, Pretoria to enjoy the afternoon.

All players were treated to a delicious lunch, courtesy of Nita Graaff,  before starting the tournament.

The six players played in a round robin format with the player ending on top taking the title.

As always, enjoyment was the key component along with the football banter exchanged between all players.

After all the results were tabulated, Clifford ended top, followed by Rui, Greg, Johan, Chris and Raul.

This was Raul's first Subbuteo tourney and he thoroughly enjoyed his games.

Stay tuned as the date for the next tournament, the annual Spring Tournament, will be released shortly.

Final table (all Johannesburg TFC unless noted):
1. Clifford Graaff - 15 points
2. Rui dos Santos (Easterns TFC) - 8
3. Greg Green - 5
4. Johan Nieuwenhuys - 4
5. Chris Dimmer - 4
6. Raul Gonsalves - 2
