Things slowly go back to normal and we are happy to publish the first results of January 2024. We collected results from Belgium, Czech Republic, Australia, England and Wales and we are happy to see so much motivation among players and clubs.
Two events were played in Belgium. The first WASPA tournament was held at Tcha Four's HQ and the event was limited to six players. 3 wins and 2 draws were enough to give Sébastien Scheen the trophy of the day while Daniel Scheen was runner-up.

Australia: latest Western Flickers tournament
Western Flickers TFC gathered at our Altona HQ, and kicked off the new year with a Welcome 2024 New Year WASPA!
Four passionate flickers took part in the tournament on a very hot summers day in Altona, Melbourne. The format was a round robin group stage with the top 2 playing off in a Grand Final for honours.
Adrian stormed out of the blocks with convincing wins over Benjamin and Peter in the first two rounds. Meanwhile, former Asian junior champion Benjamin scored a very late goal (finishing off a beautiful sequence of quick flicks) to snatch a surpise draw against Benny.
This meant that Adrian had secured his spot in the grand final, with Benny needing to beat Adrian in the final group round to get to the final. As it turned out, Benny overcame Adrian in a very tight 1-0 game to finish top of the round-robin group.
In the grand final, it was an exciting match with Adrian's pacy attacking game against Benny's counter attacking strategy. Taking advantage of the few chances with some clinical finishing, Benny came out tops with a 3-1 victory - despite a beautiful goal of the day by Adrian.
In the 3rd / 4th placing match, Benjamin came out trumps over an improving Peter.
All in all, it was a fun day of flicks with good company. A great way to kick start 2024!
Happy New Year to the Australian Subbuteo table football community from Western Flickers, and may 2024 be a fantastic table football year for everyone !

Wales: Darren Barnes winner in Cardiff
Bad luck for the Cardiff players as their latest event was limited to six players due to the snow and the clod. Darren Barnes ended as winner but xwe are sure the Cardiff guys will have a great tournament again soon.
