Some results from last week-end

While we continue to receive a lot of results from England, other nations have been in action for the last week-end of the WASPA season.

In Cyprus, the last stage of the domestic circuit took place in the premises of Famugusta TFC in Limassol. Georgios Zangylos defeated Markos Kalopsidiotis in the final (1-0) to win the tournament while Marios Nikolaou and Giorgos Stylianou made it to the semi-finals.

In Wales, London Road SC had another WASPA event run as a six players league. Chris Bedford wins with 4 wins and a draw, only challenger was Ruby Matthews with 4 wins and a defeat. Cayne Matthews finishes a comfortable 3rd with 3 wins 2 defeats. Brian Daley, Dan Nicholls and Brendan Ashley finish 4th, 5th and 6th.

In Belgium, the Templeuve United club had a final season meeting played as a small league of six players with games of 20 minutes. Geoffrey Marain won on goal-difference after finishing with the same number of points as Vincent Coppenolle. Sébastien Rochez was third, Benjamin Marain 4th, Stéphane Lambert 5th and Sébastien Sorge 6th.

Some news from around the world

We have a living Subbuteo planet with tournaments held all over the globe. Here are quick results of recent WASPA events held in several countries.

Our sincere apologies for the lack of details about recent tournaments. We still receive many results and are working hard to publish the final standings of the season quickly.

Special thanks to the organizers who take time to write a report and/or to send pictures of their events.

If you still have results on hold, don't forget to send them ASAP.

All ideas to improve the circuit in 2025-2026 are more than welcome!

Australia: Western Sydney tournament

August WASPA tournament
Sunday, August 17, 2025, 2:30PM
FitDistrict Studio, Bella Vista

Adrian E turned up full of excuses. "I was in such a rush". "Oh, no, I left my polish at home, can I borrow yours?" "I left my traveling 'keeper at home". "Oh, no, I left my glasses at home". The others weren't having any of it and told him to just get on with it.

And so the five players began a league format tournament, playing each other once. The opening fixtures pitted Franck against Ray along with an Adrian Derby. Franck's 3-0 victory was aided considerably by Ray's traveling 'keeper travails, 2 of Franck's goals coming when Ray's errant 'keeper was stranded on the pitch. The Adrians battled out a typically tight tussle with neither player able to attain full dominance. A solitary goal to Adrian E halfway through the game, and some desperate defending late in the game as Adrian G piled on the pressure, gave Adrian E the victory.

Adrian G and Melvin then went head to head and Melvin caused a minor upset holding Adrian to a 1-1. Adrian had taken an early lead and looked to be in control, but Melvin, in his first WSS tournament in exactly a year, would not give up, clawing back an equaliser before full time. On the other pitch, regular sparring partners, Franck and Adrian E, went at each other again. Adrian took an early lead with a tidy shot on the run and then attempted to hold on. Franck wasn't having it and scored a ridiculous equaliser from an acute angle right under Adrian's 'keeper's nose. He apologised for his celebration, but added - "I'm sure you would have celebrated, too, if you pulled that off!" Both players desperately searched for a winner in the remaining time but it wasn't forthcoming. Until a Magee Swarm in the final seconds. Adrian hit a goalflick deep upfield towards Franck's defense, packed with both defenders and attackers. Somehow, it missed every figure, found its way into the shooting zone and Adrian flung a desperate attacker towards the ball, which connected sweetly and sent the ball clunking into Franck's goal with 3 seconds left on the clock. Adrian's celebration was even louder than Franck's.

The 3rd, crucial, round saw every player make positive moves, but none was able to fully cancel out their opponent. Which meant that Franck & Adrian G, Ray and Melvin, all finished their games in 1-1 stalemates. Every player desperately pushed for a winner in their respective games. After his earlier problems, Ray put away his traveling 'keeper and was much more in control as a result. But, in spite of a few half chances each way in the final few minutes, neither he nor Melvin could press home an advantage. Likewise with Franck and Adrian, the second goal that either player would have been delighted with was not forthcoming, every tied up at full time.

Which meant that a victory by Adrian E in the 4th round would give him a tournament victory with a game to spare. Ray, however, had other ideas, almost scoring in the opening 5 seconds to force a corner and, after almost a decade of trying, earned his first ever competitive victory over Adrian. The 1-0 result probably flattered Adrian as Ray also had a couple of shooting opportunities where Adrian wasn't anywhere near his 'keeper, but sent the shots wide. And, so, Franck's concurrent 2-0 victory over Melvin on the other pitch, slipped him to the top of the table. Franck's performance was commanding with Melvin keeping the score down with some excellent goalkeeping.

Franck had points on the board, but also had the final round bye and was left to cheer for others to hold his position. Any of Franck, Adrian E or Ray could win the title depending on final round results. Franck needed a Melvin victory to have any chance and so spent much of the game hovering over their pitch encouraging Melvin. Their relatively dour draw moved Adrian ahead of Franck due to their earlier head-to-head result. However, this opened the door for Ray who, due to his head-to-head victory over Adrian, could tie with both on points but take the title with a good goal difference. He pushed hard against Adrian G, scoring again but, in the end, a 1-1 result squashed his chances of glory.

And so, Adrian E stumbled over the line, just making his way to the top of the table, his earlier excuses now being seen as a tactical manipulation. In truth, every player had their moments in the tournament, the number '1' in the 'Losses' column for every single player demonstrating just how tight the entire afternoon had actually been.

Australia: Melbourne TFC tournament

With exactly two months before the Asian Cup of Table Football, Melbourne TFC hosted their August WASPA at East Ivanhoe Bowling Club. Full 30 minute games were played in a Swiss-system format which saw some interesting results and competitve, high-scoring matches across the day. 

George Theocharis returned to the tables, but had a tough afternoon drawn up against some Subbuteo mainstays including Benji Batten, Nathan Kaz and Beth Robin which will prove to be good development for a hopeful entry into the Asian Cup in October. 

Kevin Grant and Nathan Heard played out an intense game in good spirits in round 3, with Kevin coming out a 1-0 winner despite some calls for VAR introduction into the sport from Nathan. 

Matches featuring Adrian Connolly never disappoint, being involved in games that finished 3-0, 3-0, 4-3 and 2-1, to finish fourth overall. 

Beth had a mixed bag of results including a win, draw and a loss against George, Nathan Heard and Kevin, respectively, to finish in an impressive third place. 

Benji and Nathan, both of MTFC, rounded out first and second at the end of the day, both finishing on 10 points each, but with Benji edging it on goal difference; +14 to Nathan's +8, with an absolute clinic put on by Benji in the last round of games, winning 9-0. 

Excellent numbers again for a WASPA as preparation is well under way for all players looking to compete in what is anticipated to be one of the most competitive tournaments held in Australia this decade.

Tralee and Munster (Ireland), May 30, 2025

Round 4 of the Irish Circuit - Tralee 2025 (original report by David Elton from https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61569711173090)

They came by boat, car, train, motorbike and pushbike. Some came for the day others for the weekend but still they came. 19 individuals looking to contend with like-minded people and to be part of an enjoyable day competing at the beautiful game that is Subbuteo or Table Football.

For those that wanted it there was a couple of pleasant evenings of sampling the delights of a busy bank holiday weekend in Tralee, with lots of banter and craic in the eateries and hostelries of Kerry’s main town.

On to the serious business of Saturday in the Brandon Hotel, 19 finger flicking enthusiasts did battle to determine who would be leaving (or remaining) in the Kingdom as the number one.

Just like 2024 Dublin’s Mark Farrell made no mistake in the main competition as the Jackeen made up for his round 3 set back in Dublin to power to victory in Kerry. The Il Re (King) of the Shield did it again as in Dublin, Mario Frittelli took the second-string competition against Nick Pearson. In the Junior event Roisin Hogan collected the title in a carbon copy shootout win like in Dublin over Mons winner Elliot Fitzpatrick. Finally in the plate after years on the side lines Northern Ireland’s 1970’s international Louis Herbert is back amongst the honours as he saw off Tralee’s Dave Elton and Donal O’Sullivan to clinch the converted plate.

One of the big challenges to running a tournament in Table Football is the diverse nature and abilities of the competitors.

We had 19 player and 4 competitions. On a footballing level it was like throwing Barcelona, Borussia Dortmund, Ipswich Town, Forest Green Rovers, The Dog and Duck FC and Home Farm under 10’s into one competition and hoping they all leave somewhat fulfilled.

The format was met with some confused looks, panicked questions and rolling eyes, but I make no apologies I feel for what we had it worked. What I will apologise for is that it wasn’t spelt out clearly enough for everyone. Verbally it didn’t come across well. A lesson learned for next year.

At the end of the first group stage most players had found their level and could do battle with players of a similar standard in the second phase. Our aim is that everyone gets a decent number of games and comes away having learned something and with their dignity and confidence very much intact.

The highlight of the day was seeing the early evolution of a junior tournament with 3 players. That’s very much down to young Elliot Fitzpatrick constantly playing the last 2 years and now we’re seeing others enter the fold. Hopefully as the tournament moves around other young players will be inspired to join in and play against lads and lassies of a similar age. If the game is to evolve this side of things really is a must.

I have to say that I’m delighted with how the players in our own locality fared. Although we’re nowhere near close to the big shots the improvement is fantastic. We’re very proud to see former Tralee player Mario taking the Shield (which is getting very competitive), Cian has come on massively in the last year and is taking to competitions like a duck to water. James is one to watch for the future, great to see a Silvia making her debut along with Donal and Liam. Finally, Roisin, 2 competitions and 3 trophies (2 junior and 1 club player of the tournament) is unprecedented. A very well done!

Finally, many thanks to all the players that made the effort to travel to Kerry. The Brandon hotel for hosting, SC Cork and Cheerytree SC for loaning some equipment, John Moore for the tech help, the players that volunteered to referee and to our own players and family members that did their bit in helping set this event up.

I salute you all……

Dublin (Ireland), June 9 2025

(Report by Andy Fitzpatrick - original link)

The felt was fast and the flicks were fierce at this week’s edition of Monday Night Flicks at The Cherrytree Walkinstown. With the Irish circuit heating up and momentum building, this session delivered narrative, nostalgia, and a few battles. Whether chasing ranking points or shaking off the weekend cobwebs, every player brought something to the board.

Player Highlights:

Adrian Piggott made his return to the scene tonight and A rock solid defensive showing (just 3 goals conceded all night).

Louis, recently crowned Plate Champion in Tralee, brought a fresh swagger to the table. The results didn’t all go his way this time, but the spark is back and it shows.

Mark “The Machine” was, once again, relentless. Five wins. Zero losses. Twelve goals scored. The man’s a metronome.

Elliot, only 11 years old, continues to capture hearts and rack up goals. He led Andy at half-time, scored consistently throughout the night, and left with more experience under his belt. With Roisín Hogan edging him out in recent shootouts, the hunger to improve is crystal clear.

Andy held his nerve after a tricky start and pulled out some important wins. His draw with Daniel and narrow win over Adrian added layers to what was a fiercely competitive evening.

Sydney (Australia), June 18 2025

A delightful premiere game night a The Station in Pyrmont on Wed 18 June was attended by seven fine flickers. Theoretically hosted by the Hipfingerz Sydney East (homeless since the sale of the much-loved Captain Cook Hotel), the schmick new venue was really the ‘find’ of Northern Falcon stalwart and local Pyrmont denizen Eliot aka ‘Doc’ aka ‘Elbow’ Kennedy. It worked beautifully, cost-free, neat, well-appointed with good storage, a kitchen and a helpful caretaker, it’s clear this space will not only suit monthly club nights but also decent sized invitational tournaments – with room for probably 9 boards.

On this night, four boards were sufficient, but extra tables and chairs were all on hand to make for a comfortable pizza dinner and a viewing of State of Origin II on the big screen (nice tech ‘casting’ by Louis Dettre!).

For this Swiss System WASPA, it was also mate against mate; and fittingly Steve Dettre – mid-rehab after an ankle operation - arrived with a surgical boot and wheelie scooter, doing a good impression of an injured ‘rugba league gladiator’. In the event, he ‘took it easy’ playing only two of the four rounds on offer and picking up 6 of his 7 points (and all his goals) with byes. It was a brave performance though – and what he lacked in mobility, he made up for in cheeky banter.

As it transpired, local boy Eliot won the day with three wins and a draw – the latter a 0-0 draw (‘whose way, mate?”) against a plucky Geoff. The Hipfingerz man picked up two wins (against Louis and stablemate Greg) but lost to Franck. Frank and Adrian pulled out similar results (two wins and a draw) and only goal difference determined that Adrian and Geoff shared the ‘silva medal’ - named after Bernardo of course. Franck and Steve also ended up on 7 points, but Steve’s two 2-0 byes put him ahead… yep, sucked in Franck! It was, nevertheless, a night when everyone took some points - and a share of the glory.

Thanks to all for coming… we’ve definitely begun a new chapter in Sydney Subbo history. See you all – and many more no doubt – next time round. Diarise Tuesday Tues 15 July 6pm set-up for 6.30 flick-off.

Go the Blues! (report by Geoff Sirmai - Facebook link: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1063342333730453)

Melbourne (TFC), Australia, April 26 2025

On Saturday, Melbourne Table Football Club celebrated a major milestone — 12 years since its founding — with a special WASPA tournament held at our home venue of East Ivanhoe Bowls Club. It was a fantastic day of matches, showcasing the growth, talent, and spirit that has characterised Melbourne TFC since its beginnings.

The competition in was incredibly tight, with players battling for every point. After a tense and hard-fought group stage, the standings were extremely close, reflecting the high level of competition and determination among all participants. Every match was meaningful, and several players were separated by just a single result.

A special mention goes to Nathan Heard, representing Northern Phoenix, who delivered an outstanding performance throughout the day. Nathan continues to show rapid improvement in his game, and his efforts were rewarded with a spot in the semi-finals — a fantastic achievement and a sign of great things to come.

In the knockout stages, I was lucky to get on a roll and defeat Adrian Connolly 2–0 in the semi-final and Christos Garagounis 3-0 in the final to claim the tournament title.

Thank you to everyone who attended and helped make this 12th anniversary event a success. Here's to many more years of Melbourne TFC and the ongoing growth of table football in Australia!

Sydney (WS) (Australia), March 4 2025

A string of entries and then withdrawals left the numbers low for our March WASPA tournament and, sadly, our Western Sydney Subbuteo representatives outnumbered by those from the Northern Falcons. On the plus side, all the games could be played in the comfort of inside the clubhouse. With 5 players geared up to play, a full league format was used, with 20 minute games allowing everyone to play everyone else.

The opening round set the tone for the evening. Adrian E huffed and puffed but was, ultimately, rubbish, and Steve took advantage with a 1-0 win. Meanwhile Franck eased to a 2-0 victory over Adrian G. The two Adrians maintained this form for the rest of the evening, with neither managing to trouble the scoreboard at any stage during the evening! Adrian G did manage to keep a tight defense against Steve in the final game of the evening, picking up a second 0-0 draw (following the one against Adrian E) leaving him slightly ahead of Adrian E, but both rooted to the foot of the table.

Franck was on a roll and further commanding victories against Adrian E and Steve left him in a strong position at the top of the table heading into the final round. Steve had a mixed bag of results with a win, a loss and two draws, though one of those draws, against Eliot, had significant implications for the final match. Eliot sat out the first round with the bye but was, predictably, too good on the night for each of the Adrians, before hitting a snag with that 0-0 against Steve.

Which meant, heading into the final match against each other, Franck was heading the table with 9 points while Eliot was in second with 7. The two players lived up to the grand final nature of the fixture. Both players kept things tight in defense, with just the odd half chance each way opening up, but with no big misses for either player to regret. With Franck just needing the draw to take the title, his confidence grew as the minutes ticked down. Then, with just two minutes left on the clock, Eliot made the most outrageous curling flick, threading the needle between two expertly positioned defenders, in order to set himself up for a shot, which he converted with aplomb. Franck couldn't believe what he'd seen and Eliot, not known for outbursts of emotion in his mature years, yelled a loud 'yes!!' as the back of the net rippled. Franck needed to push for the equaliser with under two minutes left and this left him open to a second, counter-attacking goal, the final scoreline a cruel one for the player who had been two minutes away from claiming the title.

Eliot must now have a serious claim as the world's greatest exponent of the curled flick using flat bases, tonight used to directly win the tournament. A small but enjoyable tournament for the month, a good warm up for those present for our FISTF Satellite tournament being held in April.

Australia: Northern Phoenix WASPA – Thursday 06th February 2025

A relaxing and chilled Northern Phoenix WASPA was the perfect lead in event for the weekend’s AGP a couple of days later.

The occasion was marked by the participation of a number of interstate and overseas players wanting to secure a last minute hit-out prior to the Big Dance.

Conrad Mudge, Mike Phillips and Yago Dee made special appearances, the Tasmanian making his entrance fashionably late after a delayed flight meant he arrived in the Victorian capital six hours late.

Benji Batten had a great outing winning all his four matches to take out the evening’s honours. Beth Robin however pushed him all the way in their third round encounter, Mr MTFC scoring a buzzer beater in the final seconds to get over the line and keep his impressive record in check.

Having been absent from the game for a couple of decades, Mike Phillips strung together a number of impressive performances and showed great close control and tactical awareness. Conrad Mudge made the most of his trip across ‘The Ditch’ playing an exhausting six matches and Nathan Urbaniak keeps on going from strength to strength finishing up as runner-up.

Another enjoyable evening and needless to say.......

Subbuteo was the Real Winner!

Geoffrey Marain wins Christmas tournament in Templeuve

The Templeuve United club had a nice Christmas tournament last Friday with a good turnout of 19 players, which included 5 French players. The Belgian club is living hard days as the club premises should be totally destroyed and rebuild in 2025 and no new premises have been found to organize the weekly meetings. As for the tournament, it was nice to have 2 newcomers and players from 4 different clubs taking part even if 17 of the 19 players have been Templeuve players in past or present days.

Due to the age and level differences, three categories were organized. Ursule Dhont was the undefeated winner of the Junior section.

Among the 14 Open players, the 6 "elite" players competed in the "A category" and Geoffrey Marain, who played at his best level, was the big winner of the night. It was funny to have 4 players tied in second place with 2 wins, which made it was compulsory to use the goal difference to offer the title of runner-up to Sébastien Rochez.

In the "B category", Raphael Dhondt, who came back to the game a few months ago after after a break of more than 30 years, was on fire and won his four games to win the tournament.

As a conclusion, it was another fantastic evening of table football and another piece of evidence that the WASPA circuit in offers excellent games to the involved players.

Carlos Flores winner in La Cave

One of the most amazing WASPA tournaments took place on December 13, 2024 in the famous Stembert premises called "La Cave". The three tables in the location had special guests for a very nice evening as table football legend Carlos Flores from Spain was paying a visit to his Stembert friends along with Barcelona's Arturo Martinez, also a former FISTF veterans champion! Host pascal Scheen had other Belgian superstars in the area as Daniel Scheen and Christophe Dheur but also Tiburones's jean-Michel Cuenca were taking part. Every player had 5 games and in the end, there was no surprise as Carlos Flores won his five games to win the tournament. This was the second appearance of Carlos Flores in a WASPA tournament, 5 years after a first victory in Alicante, Spain. Daniel Scheen was runner-up while Christophe Dheur was third. Thanks to Pascal Scheen for organising things very properly and to all players for their great contribution to give credit to Subbuteo table football and to the WASPA circuit!
