Here is a summary of results from tournaments held in England, Malta, Australia, Italy and South Africa. Special thanks to all organizers who keep Subbuteo alive and focus on helping new players to get experience!
We are more than convinced that WASPA events remain very important to develop our beautiful game.

| Players in Brisbane |
Among the recent events held in January, we are happy to see action in Brisbane, Australia. The latest tournament took plae at the Sundowner hotel in Caboolture and local players had the visit of Japanese player Tomoki Ono. Gus Gillespie won the grand final against Gareth Whalley (4-2).
The Pedmore tournament was part of the English Subbuteo Championship. Chris Short (Pedmore TFC) managed to win the final against Sam Curtis (Yorkshire) on shots (3 v 1) after a close and tactical affair which also went to golden goal, where they could still not be separated while Mick Hammonds (Wolverhampton) and Aaron Skinner (Bristol) made it the the semi-final and Michael Mayes (Godiva) won the Plate final, beating Simon McMurray 4-0. Connor Gregory was the Under 18's category Winner with Colchester's Jamie Warren taking the Runner Up spot.
The second tournament in Caterham was another success. Players from "That Retro Place Subbuteo Club" spent some great time and Adam Welle was the undefeated winner.
Old rules events are still the priority for players in Terni where the local club held their 12th (and then last for this season) tournament with Marco Perotti taking the honors.
Richard Roper won the latest Stourbridge Casual Subbuteo meet, finishing on top of a group of six players.
In South Africa, Ian Clarke dominated the recent New year Cup organized by the ETS club.
The Victus Calabria boys had a different venue for their latest event. The time the event took place in Catazanro instead of Lamezia Terme and Vittorio Giummo proved to be the man of the day!
Stanley Farrugia won his first tournament for a long time in Malta when finishing on top of the 5th event of the season in H'Attard.
Finally, the CHASERS New Year Open took place on Sunday with 30 players travelling to Dagenham for another fantastic day of table football. Gary Gladwell and his friends make a great events and had the vist of a special guest as Australia's Bob Green was taking part. Bob managed to reach the semi-finals but the big winner of the day was Kye Arnold who defeated Malcolm Jamieson in the final. Congratulations to the others winners: Rob Fitch (Stanway) in the Plate, Jack Cossington (Chasers) in the Shield and Hadley Chapman (Kent) as best junior.
