Marius Willhaus wins Sankt Pauli tournament

Subbuteo Sankt Pauli hosted their 2nd WASPA tournament of the 2019-20 season with 6 players facing off for the monthly title in a Swiss-League format. Last month’s winner Sven Schilling was again the favourite for the title but the returning Simon Stewart was hoping to break Sven’s dominance and take his first WASPA title of the season at his new club after finishing last season strongly at Derry City TFC with 3 WASPA wins. Club stalwart Marcos Perianes was hoping to improve on his 3rd place finish last time out and was again joined by Fred Elesbao making the long trek from Hannover. Marius Willhaus and Ralf Offenborn completed the line-up making their WASPA debuts for the season.

In the end it was Sven, Simon and Marius who set the pace and it was their head-to-head record that was decide the night. Sven was held 0-0 by Marius and 1-1 by Simon so it was the game between Stewart and Willhaus that would see the champion crowned iof either could forge a victory. Marius dominated much of the game and earned a well-deserved 1-0 win to see himself top the table and claim his first WASPA title.

We host our next monthly WASPA on November 12th when we hope to be joined by regulars Philip and Andre to swell our number to 8. More players are welcome so just message our Facebook page to take part.
