Table Football Association of Singapore successfully organised a Nostalgic Subbuteo Challenge on 12 Mar 2022 where only old-school 'cereal-bowl' bases and plastic GKs are allowed. Compared to modern bases. these 'cereal-bowl' bases are more demanding and difficult to control - truly testing the flicking fundamentals of the players. A total of 8 players participated to relive the good old 'curling' days from the 1980s.
Players were randomly drawn into 2 groups of 4 where the top 2 of each group qualify for the semis of the main tournament while the bottom 2 proceed to playoffs to determine their final standings. Bernard Lim and John Ho Lim topped their respective groups and eventually met in the Final. This is a re-match of their 1986 Subbuteo Association Cup semi-final where Bernard prevailed 4-2. In a tense Final, John scored the winning goal from a direct free-kick in the dying seconds of the last minute - sweet revenge for John!! Congratulations John and well done to all players who participated!!
Final standings:
Champion: John Ho; Runner-up: Bernard Lim; 3rd: Kok Wee Tan; 4th: Izham Sidek
5th: Vikas Chandiramani; 6th: Azlan Sidek; 7th: John Edwards; 8th: Sham Doulatram
