Hipfingerz WASPA event in Sydney


Adrian Elmer and Adrian Grunbach
A great night at the Hipfingerz last night. Fantastic turnout of 12, including two new players, Michael Ridger and Jose Rodriguez. 

The Swiss four-round was taken by Adrian Elmer and Adrian Grunbach jointly.

Special mention to the Western Sydney crew (Adrian, Imojjen and Dave) who made the trek from the far flung regions of Sydney!

The first round didn't start too promisingly, with 4 scoreless draws and Adrian E and Steve having a 1-1 draw.

But then things livened up.

Adrian Elmer put three past Jonty, while Steve caused an upset with a 1-0 win against Eliot with a nice shot on the run from a corner.

Adrian Elmer continued his fine form with a 1-0 win against Geoff, while Adrian Grunbach scored two crackers against Steve in a 2-0 win.

That set up a dramatic last round. Mike scored his debut win against Jose, 1-0, while Imojjen beat Dave 1-0, scoring with three seconds left on the clock!! Greg continued his goal scoring, with a 1-1 draw with Jonty, Geoff went down to Steve 1-2, while Eliot bounced back and scored a 3-0 win against a tiring Daniel. 

In the decider, the Adrians couldn't be separated, and shared the spoils in a 0-0 draw and the title!

Many thanks again to the Captain Cook Hotel - a great venue for Sydney Subbuteo!!
