Action in Edinburgh, Scotland


We are pleased to publish the report of the latest tournament in Edinburgh, Scotland.

Original report: https://www.facebook.com/SubbuteoEdinburgh

"Well, there we have it. Another Monday Night Subbuteo event with WASPA (World Amateur Subbuteo Players Association) 

And what an event it was! Allow yourselves to be updated...

With seven players split into two groups, Marco Bevilacqua topped group one, with the returning Dave "Dark Horse" Allen from the infamous Hot Club, taking top spot in the other. 

Andy "Cut Throat" Kent went on to be king of "The Losers Club" beating Paul McFadyen and Lee McMenemy to top spot. 

But onto the semis... Marco squeezed past Bruce "The Bomber" Henderson 1 - 0 with Peter Morrison and Dave Allen playing out a tense 0 - 0 draw. Onto the dreaded SHOTS! Again, another tense affair with Dave sneaking a cheeky one in to beat Peter 1 - 0. 

Peter then repeated the entire process and lost 1 - 0 to Bruce in the 3rd place play-off of doom. 

The Final. And my goodness, it was a final to end ALL finals. An enormous 0 - 0 between Marco and Dave with the outcome and glory once again needing SHOTS! to determine a winner. 

With the prestige and honour of The Golden Finger trophy looking on, Marco managed to slip a few past the sprawling metal of Dave's keeper and triumph 3 - 1. 

A MASSIVE thanks to everyone who came and participated and of course to the lovely folks at The Chanter for storing the tables and letting us rearrange the furniture. 

Thanks WASPA (World Amateur Subbuteo Players Association) and our next event will be on the 17th June."
