Vicenç Prats and Ferran Coll winners in the Catalan Circuit

Better late than never, we finally publish news from the Catalan Country and we are happy to collect results of the last two stage of the Catalan Circuit.

Earlier this season, Breda hosted the second tournament of the 2025-2026 season, an event that once again brought together a large number of participants and consolidated the good momentum of the discipline throughout the territory. p to 28 players from various parts of Catalonia, and also with representation from Occitania and Mallorca , filled the Cercle Bredenc Multipurpose Hall with intense competition, a good atmosphere and closely contested matches from the group stage.

Prats and Araujo redid the final

As happened in Montornès at the start of the season, Vicenç Prats once again demonstrated his great form and was proclaimed tournament champion. In the final he again beat Àlex Araujo 2-1, who had another very regular tournament and remains one of the essential names on the Circuit. The semi-finals offered high-level duels. Ferran Coll and Alfred Laporta were the other two great protagonists of the main draw, reaching the top 4 after a day full of rhythm and intense matches.

The consolation also made headlines. The Mallorcan Josep David Somoza, after having beaten local player Ricard Carles in the semifinals, on penalties, won in the final against Montornès' representative Toni Hernández. The fact that players who are usually at the top of the rankings end up competing in the consolation round —as happened in the first tournament— once again demonstrates the growth in the competitive level of the Circuit in recent times. The differences are narrowing and each match becomes a demanding challenge, even in the early rounds.

The Catalan Table Football Circuit experienced a day to remember this Sunday, February 1st, in Mataró, home of the third tournament of the 2025-2026 season. The event set an absolute record for participation , with a total of 36 players, the highest number recorded so far in a tournament on the circuit.

Record participation and great atmosphere in Mataró

The day was marked from the start by the high number of participants, which generated a very demanding group stage with high-intensity matches. The presence of several local players contributed to creating a great competitive atmosphere throughout the tournament, with numerous duels decided by small details.

A high-level final decided in extra time

Classic final of the Circuit between Ferran Coll and Vicenç Prats
The grand final offered a duel of the highest level between Ferran Coll and Vicenç Prats, two of the current leaders of the Catalan Circuit. The match was extremely close and needed extra time to decide the champion. Finally, Ferran Coll managed to prevail in the decisive minutes, proclaiming himself champion after a very solid performance throughout the competition. Prats, for his part, once again demonstrated great regularity and added a new final this season.

The semi-finals also featured remarkable performances. Alfred Laporta confirmed his good form with a new presence in the final rounds, while local player Àlex Araujo had an excellent tournament, coming within touching distance of a third consecutive final after a very meritorious run throughout the day.

Rafel Blasco wins the consolation

On Sunday, March 30, Girona hosted a tournament of the Catalan Table Football Circuit for the second time. This edition was held at the facilities in the Sant Narcís neighborhood of the GEiE , bringing together 26 players from all over Catalonia: Barcelona, ​​L'Hospitalet, Montornès, Mataró, Breda and, obviously, a local representation from Girona.

This was the fourth scoring tournament of the 2024-2025 season, of the five events that make up the Circuit and that determine the 16 qualified for the final playoffs. The competition was intense and full of emotions, with great matches that kept the excitement going until the last moment.

The final offered a duel already known within the Catalan Circuit: Ferran Coll (Vila de Gràcia) against Vicenç Prats (Sarrià). Although on most occasions it has been Prats who has prevailed, this time Coll reversed the trend and took the tournament with a narrow victory by 2 to 1.

With this triumph, the player from Gracia consolidates his leadership in the general classification and takes a firm step towards the playoffs.

The consolation tournament, for Guillem Balaguer

Last Wednesday's Old Rules WASPA in Leicester

With a smaller than usual field of 6 local players took the opportunity to play a league format. "For added giggles crouching goalies were the order of the day and big balls were also used. We quickly exhausted all the big ball jokes and cliches ('til next time!) and soon got down to that special love and frustration we have for old school bases. Many a protracted scream that only an errant heavyweight can induce was heard throughout the night. Graham Harwood probably wins the frustrated rant award for screaming at Paul Taylor to "stop blocking my players!". An evening of great fun was had by all. For what it's worth Graham finished top of the evening's league with Paul as runner up", report Graham Harwood.

Final table:

1. Graham Harwood 11pts (+4)
2. Paul Taylor 7pts (+1)
3. Mark Weaver 7pts (0)
4. Kev Colman 5pts (-1)
5. Scott Hunt 5pts (-1)
6. Sean Wenlock. 3pts (-3)
