Kenny Beggs Wins Wexford Open

A fantastic Saturday of action in Wexford as Kenny Beggs pipped Mark Farrell to jump to the top of the Irish Subbuteo Championship. Mick O’Brien’s 3rd place propels him up 7 places to 9th but it looks like a straight shootout for the championship between Mark and Kenny at the final round to be hosted by Derry City Table Football Club on January 14.

Ten players attended the Wexford Open. Northern Ireland's Kenny Beggs topped the table, 2 points clear of Dublin's Mark Farrell. Mick O'Brien also had a very good day finishing 3rd on goal-difference above John Moore. Great to have Gerry Harrington travelling from England again and David Elton from Tralee. Junior player, Daniel Kalezewski continued to improve against the more senior opposition, picking up 6 points and Tommy Fitzpatrick took part in his first tournament. Thanks to John Moore, Mark Farrell, Nicky Moore and Andy Fitzpatrick for organising in the Community Hall in Monamolin.
