Among the club who really support the WASPA circuit, London Subbuteo Club is a very special group organizing tournaments with both modern and old rules. Last week-end London Subbuteo Club held the Chris Phillips 2023 Cup and 14 players from different clubs were taking part. Simon Goodman (Surrey Saracens) defeated Malcolm Jamieson (Solent) in the final while semi-finalists were Tony Kiely (London SC) and Gianluca Zucchelli (London SC).

Plate Winner: Tony Banks (London SC), Plate runner-up Nigel Morgan (Solent).

Shield winner: Jason Christopher (Solent), Shield runner-up Adam Jackson (Chasers).

To be noted there are big efforts made in England to promote tournaments with the old rules. For interested players, it’s time to register for Round 1 of the Subbuteo Old School WASPA (World Amateur Subbuteo Players Association) Circuit organised by the London Subbuteo Club and the English Subbuteo Association.

It’s the first of 6 events and at Subbuteofest 2024 through a point system we will have an English league table and a 2023/24 winner in the build up to the FISTF World Cup 2024.
