South Devon, England, November 9 2025

WASPA complete. A really enjoyable day shared with other enthusiasts. Great thanks to all who travelled to the sunny South West on a very wet day!

Malcolm Jamieson, Stuart Briffett, Tony McCann, Phil Bryant and Andy Jarvis joining five of our regular club members Simon, Oakley, Bob, Bill and Marcus. 

Nice for our players to compete against better players and we learned a great deal. Malcolm and Tony shared much of their big game experience and gave some brilliant advice for us to act upon. 

Congratulations to Marcus Ellis who lifted the SDS Plate trophy.

Special congratulations to our WASPA trophy winner Bob Fairbrother who defeated Malcom Jamieson 1-0 in the final. Both had been in scintillating form on their respective runs to the final. Bob stayed calm when under intense pressure from Malcolm having taken the lead early in the second half. Was a wonderful game to watch with top quality play on display. 

It has been a real privilege watching our club grow. I have met great people and made new friends. The willingness of all to contribute enabled us to host this event today. From learning the new game of Subbuteo to slowly improving our equipment. We have a competitive league and cup format between our players, a website, club jersey and additional subbuteo paraphernalia. 

We couldn’t do it without a great venue. The White Hart Modbury, many thanks to Gareth and the gang for being generous host. 

If you are thinking of joining or creating a Subbuteo club, do it. You just might have a lot of fun. (report from the Facebook page)
