Lincoln Flickers’ Copa Libertadores

Mick Hammond (Racing Club) overturned a first half deficit against club colleague Richard Badger (Goiás) to lift Lincoln’s Copa Libertadores 2-1. The two both made the final in their last outing to Lincoln in November’s Summer Finale Cup albeit with a reversed score. The tournament was again dominated by Wolverhampton who took all the semi-final places in a very competitive field. Andy Boyer (Barcelona Sporting Club de Guayaquil) from Lincoln took the Copa Sudamericana (Plate) with a 2-0 win versus Colin Fletcher (Boca Juniors). Andrew Garbutt (Flamengo) won the Copa Consol award.

Thank you to all the participants for playing in good spirit and a special mention for Gage Badger (Old Boys), playing his first away tournament, and Clinton Simpson (Chivas) for their performances.

Lincoln’s next event is the Eostre Old Subbuteo Cup in April.
