Tralee and Munster (Ireland), May 30, 2025

Round 4 of the Irish Circuit - Tralee 2025 (original report by David Elton from https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61569711173090)

They came by boat, car, train, motorbike and pushbike. Some came for the day others for the weekend but still they came. 19 individuals looking to contend with like-minded people and to be part of an enjoyable day competing at the beautiful game that is Subbuteo or Table Football.

For those that wanted it there was a couple of pleasant evenings of sampling the delights of a busy bank holiday weekend in Tralee, with lots of banter and craic in the eateries and hostelries of Kerry’s main town.

On to the serious business of Saturday in the Brandon Hotel, 19 finger flicking enthusiasts did battle to determine who would be leaving (or remaining) in the Kingdom as the number one.

Just like 2024 Dublin’s Mark Farrell made no mistake in the main competition as the Jackeen made up for his round 3 set back in Dublin to power to victory in Kerry. The Il Re (King) of the Shield did it again as in Dublin, Mario Frittelli took the second-string competition against Nick Pearson. In the Junior event Roisin Hogan collected the title in a carbon copy shootout win like in Dublin over Mons winner Elliot Fitzpatrick. Finally in the plate after years on the side lines Northern Ireland’s 1970’s international Louis Herbert is back amongst the honours as he saw off Tralee’s Dave Elton and Donal O’Sullivan to clinch the converted plate.

One of the big challenges to running a tournament in Table Football is the diverse nature and abilities of the competitors.

We had 19 player and 4 competitions. On a footballing level it was like throwing Barcelona, Borussia Dortmund, Ipswich Town, Forest Green Rovers, The Dog and Duck FC and Home Farm under 10’s into one competition and hoping they all leave somewhat fulfilled.

The format was met with some confused looks, panicked questions and rolling eyes, but I make no apologies I feel for what we had it worked. What I will apologise for is that it wasn’t spelt out clearly enough for everyone. Verbally it didn’t come across well. A lesson learned for next year.

At the end of the first group stage most players had found their level and could do battle with players of a similar standard in the second phase. Our aim is that everyone gets a decent number of games and comes away having learned something and with their dignity and confidence very much intact.

The highlight of the day was seeing the early evolution of a junior tournament with 3 players. That’s very much down to young Elliot Fitzpatrick constantly playing the last 2 years and now we’re seeing others enter the fold. Hopefully as the tournament moves around other young players will be inspired to join in and play against lads and lassies of a similar age. If the game is to evolve this side of things really is a must.

I have to say that I’m delighted with how the players in our own locality fared. Although we’re nowhere near close to the big shots the improvement is fantastic. We’re very proud to see former Tralee player Mario taking the Shield (which is getting very competitive), Cian has come on massively in the last year and is taking to competitions like a duck to water. James is one to watch for the future, great to see a Silvia making her debut along with Donal and Liam. Finally, Roisin, 2 competitions and 3 trophies (2 junior and 1 club player of the tournament) is unprecedented. A very well done!

Finally, many thanks to all the players that made the effort to travel to Kerry. The Brandon hotel for hosting, SC Cork and Cheerytree SC for loaning some equipment, John Moore for the tech help, the players that volunteered to referee and to our own players and family members that did their bit in helping set this event up.

I salute you all……

Dublin (Ireland), June 9 2025

(Report by Andy Fitzpatrick - original link)

The felt was fast and the flicks were fierce at this week’s edition of Monday Night Flicks at The Cherrytree Walkinstown. With the Irish circuit heating up and momentum building, this session delivered narrative, nostalgia, and a few battles. Whether chasing ranking points or shaking off the weekend cobwebs, every player brought something to the board.

Player Highlights:

Adrian Piggott made his return to the scene tonight and A rock solid defensive showing (just 3 goals conceded all night).

Louis, recently crowned Plate Champion in Tralee, brought a fresh swagger to the table. The results didn’t all go his way this time, but the spark is back and it shows.

Mark “The Machine” was, once again, relentless. Five wins. Zero losses. Twelve goals scored. The man’s a metronome.

Elliot, only 11 years old, continues to capture hearts and rack up goals. He led Andy at half-time, scored consistently throughout the night, and left with more experience under his belt. With Roisín Hogan edging him out in recent shootouts, the hunger to improve is crystal clear.

Andy held his nerve after a tricky start and pulled out some important wins. His draw with Daniel and narrow win over Adrian added layers to what was a fiercely competitive evening.

Sydney (Australia), June 18 2025

A delightful premiere game night a The Station in Pyrmont on Wed 18 June was attended by seven fine flickers. Theoretically hosted by the Hipfingerz Sydney East (homeless since the sale of the much-loved Captain Cook Hotel), the schmick new venue was really the ‘find’ of Northern Falcon stalwart and local Pyrmont denizen Eliot aka ‘Doc’ aka ‘Elbow’ Kennedy. It worked beautifully, cost-free, neat, well-appointed with good storage, a kitchen and a helpful caretaker, it’s clear this space will not only suit monthly club nights but also decent sized invitational tournaments – with room for probably 9 boards.

On this night, four boards were sufficient, but extra tables and chairs were all on hand to make for a comfortable pizza dinner and a viewing of State of Origin II on the big screen (nice tech ‘casting’ by Louis Dettre!).

For this Swiss System WASPA, it was also mate against mate; and fittingly Steve Dettre – mid-rehab after an ankle operation - arrived with a surgical boot and wheelie scooter, doing a good impression of an injured ‘rugba league gladiator’. In the event, he ‘took it easy’ playing only two of the four rounds on offer and picking up 6 of his 7 points (and all his goals) with byes. It was a brave performance though – and what he lacked in mobility, he made up for in cheeky banter.

As it transpired, local boy Eliot won the day with three wins and a draw – the latter a 0-0 draw (‘whose way, mate?”) against a plucky Geoff. The Hipfingerz man picked up two wins (against Louis and stablemate Greg) but lost to Franck. Frank and Adrian pulled out similar results (two wins and a draw) and only goal difference determined that Adrian and Geoff shared the ‘silva medal’ - named after Bernardo of course. Franck and Steve also ended up on 7 points, but Steve’s two 2-0 byes put him ahead… yep, sucked in Franck! It was, nevertheless, a night when everyone took some points - and a share of the glory.

Thanks to all for coming… we’ve definitely begun a new chapter in Sydney Subbo history. See you all – and many more no doubt – next time round. Diarise Tuesday Tues 15 July 6pm set-up for 6.30 flick-off.

Go the Blues! (report by Geoff Sirmai - Facebook link: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1063342333730453)

Cordell Seals Another Win to Top the Table

Winner Kevin Cordell with Kent's Terry Arnold

Kevin Cordell once again demonstrated why he’s one of the most feared players in English Subbuteo. Navigating a tough draw, he powered his way to the final and held his nerve to defeat Aaron Skinner in a competitive 2-1 win.

Cordell’s day included a strong 5-1 win over Gage Badger in the Last 16, a 2-0 quarter-final over Alan Lee, and a convincing 3-1 semi-final victory against Richard Badger.

Skinner also impressed, beating fellow Bristol player Steve Wonnacott 3-0 in the quarters before a nail-biting Golden Goal triumph over Rudi Peters in the semis (1-1 FT, 1-1 GG). In the final, however, Cordell's clinical edge proved decisive.

Main Knockout Highlights

Runner-up Aaron Skinner (left)

The Groups: A special mention goes to England U12 international Hadley Chapman, who produced one of the feel-good stories of the day by progressing from his group. Competing against experienced adult players, Hadley showed maturity beyond his years and proved once again why he's one of the brightest young talents in the English game. A brilliant achievement for the rising star.

Last 16: Notable wins came from Marco Ghigliotti (4-1 vs Connor Gregory), Alan Lee (5-1 vs Kye Arnold), and Richard Badger (4-0 vs Neil Doherty). 

Quarter-finals: The four semi-finalists emerged as Cordell, Skinner, Peters, and Badger, all in strong form.

Final Result: Kevin Cordell 2 – 1 Aaron Skinner

Paul Sutton Dominates the Plate Event

Consolation winner Paul Sutton

In the Plate competition, Paul Sutton was untouchable. After a commanding 7-1 victory in the Plate Last 16 and narrow shootout success in the quarter-final over Malcolm Jamieson, Sutton hit top gear in the final stages. A 7-1 semi-final win over Dave Cope set up the final, where he produced a faultless performance to beat Robert Paterson 3-0 and take home the Plate title.

Youth Final: Warren Edges Gregory in a Five-Goal Thriller

Junior winner Jamie Warren

In the Youth Final, Jamie Warren and Connor Gregory put on a show. In a back-and-forth battle, it was Warren who came out on top, winning 3-2 in an entertaining and closely fought contest that highlights the bright future of English Subbuteo.

Championship Standings: Cordell Leads with One Round to Go

With just one round remaining in the 2025 ESA English Championships, Kevin Cordell has taken the lead on 280 points. Hot on his heels are Rudi Peters (250), Mick Hammonds (240), and Aaron Skinner (240), with a handful of others still mathematically in the hunt.

The final round promises fireworks, with the top prize still within reach for several contenders.

Top 5 After Round 5:

Kevin Cordell – 280 pts

Rudi Peters – 250 pts

Mick Hammonds – 240 pts

Aaron Skinner – 240 pts

Kye Arnold – 220 pts

Looking Ahead

As the ESA circuit moves toward its final showdown, the Kent round has added new twists to an already thrilling campaign. The performances in Gillingham proved that no lead is safe and no match is predictable.

With one final chapter left to write, who will be crowned ESA English Champion 2025? We’ll find out soon.

WASPA rankings and results of May 2025

Dear Subbuteo friends,

PDF file with the results - click here
Excel file with the rankings and statistics - click here

The amazing field of players in the latest tournament in Barcelona

the updated WASPA rankings are now available. May was an amazing month once again with 45 tournaments added in the records! We had tournaments in Australia, Belgium, England, Spain, Greece, Ireland, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Romania and Wales. Numbers are simply fantastic but it also means a lot of work to compile results and to calculate points.

Organizers do a fantastic job to keep things going and that's much appreciated. We have new players every month and we are also happy to see some new organizers.

In the rankings of clubs, we are happy to see several new clubs joining the Conference League: Godiva SC (England), Subbuteo Bucharest (Romania), Virtus Calabria (Italy), Pireaus Lions TSC (Greece).

As for the reste please keep me posted about:

- missing results (if you see missing tournaments in the PDF file);

- missing juniors (young players born in 2008 or later are not in the junior ranking if I don't have their birthdates);

- stories of tournaments: organizers can send me a few lines and pictures of events.

Last month I also asked a few questions about the future of WASPA. To be honest, I was upset by the number of answers but I take it in a positive way as it means people are happy with the way things are run nowadays ;-)

Well, that's all for now, I would really be happy to get some feedback!

Don't forget that the best way to send results is to send an e-mail to vincentcoppenolle@gmail.com

Keep on flicking,

Vincent Coppenolle

Alfred Laporta achieves his first victory in the Catalan

On Sunday, May 18, the fifth and final tournament of the regular phase of the Catalan Table Football Circuit 2024-2025 was held in Mataró. The competition was held at the headquarters of the "Capgrossos de Mataró human tower team", a regular meeting point for the organizing club from Mataró, AS Iluro Futbol Taula, and featured the participation of 28 players from various parts of Catalonia.

Toni Rosa receives the consolation trophy from his son

Alfred Laporta achieved his first victory in a Circuit tournament after a demanding and highly contested course. In the semifinals he narrowly beat Vicenç Prats, current number 1 in the Catalan ranking, and in the final he defeated Ferran Coll, leader of the Circuit, also in a very even duel. Laporta managed the decisive moments well and took a victory that he had narrowly missed on previous occasions.

In the consolation tournament, local player Toni Rosa gave a great performance and defeated Guillem Balaguer in a tight final, closing his regular season with very good feelings.

With this fifth event —after the tournaments held in Montornès (2), Breda, Girona and now Mataró, the regular phase of the Circuit closes and the final classification is confirmed with the 16 players who will participate in the playoffs for the title, which will be held in Breda on July 6.

Adrian Elmer wins AGFA cup 2025

Adrian Elmer etched his name into AGFA Cup trophy history, becoming the 11th winner in the 25 year history of the event.

With only 8 entrants for the 2025 event, we opted for a full league format, sticking to the lightning 15-minute matches and 7 matches each.

His victory prevented the first three-peat by Eliot Kennedy.

It was great to have players from the Nothern Falcons, Western Sydney and Hipfingerz, and especially with Jez Simpson using his Toccer figures.

Early results went as expected, though Franck was dragging his feet and dropped much needed points.

As we got to the back end of the tournament, the results started to matter.

Adrian beat Eliot, then dropped a point to Steve, while Franck started to ramp up.

Into the last round, Adrian could claim the title with a win against Geoff, while Eliot or Steve could grab the title with wins.

As it was, Adrian held on 1-0 against Geoff to claim the title.

A late Doubles Cup was a fun conclusion to the day: Adrian & Franck and Eliot and Johnny sharing the points after a win and a draw. Steve & Louie are preparing their revenge for later in the year!

(Report by Steve Dettre)

May 25: results from around the world

Melbourne (TFC), Australia, April 26 2025

On Saturday, Melbourne Table Football Club celebrated a major milestone — 12 years since its founding — with a special WASPA tournament held at our home venue of East Ivanhoe Bowls Club. It was a fantastic day of matches, showcasing the growth, talent, and spirit that has characterised Melbourne TFC since its beginnings.

The competition in was incredibly tight, with players battling for every point. After a tense and hard-fought group stage, the standings were extremely close, reflecting the high level of competition and determination among all participants. Every match was meaningful, and several players were separated by just a single result.

A special mention goes to Nathan Heard, representing Northern Phoenix, who delivered an outstanding performance throughout the day. Nathan continues to show rapid improvement in his game, and his efforts were rewarded with a spot in the semi-finals — a fantastic achievement and a sign of great things to come.

In the knockout stages, I was lucky to get on a roll and defeat Adrian Connolly 2–0 in the semi-final and Christos Garagounis 3-0 in the final to claim the tournament title.

Thank you to everyone who attended and helped make this 12th anniversary event a success. Here's to many more years of Melbourne TFC and the ongoing growth of table football in Australia!

WASPA standings of April 2025 and a few questions

Dear friends,

you will find here the latest WASTA rankings. We are always happy to see tournaments played in many different countries and we had 30 events played under the WASPA banner added in the latest records.

WASPA rankings (Excel file)

WASPA results (PDF file)

Some nations are very active and continue to run many tournaments while things seem to be a bit calmer now in other nations. We are glad to have 2 new organizers (in England and Italy) and we are looking forward to seeing more new clubs being part of this fantastic circuit in the future.

While there are four months left till the end of the season, I would love to get your feedback about the following points:

1) Can you check if you see missing results in the PDF file? We might have unregistered results and would appreciate feedback from our different organizers.

2) Can you check if your junior players (born in 2008 or later) are included in the junior ranking? If your junior players are not listed, we just need their birthdates. Thanks in advance for your help.

3) Future of WASPA: should we continue the WASPA circuit? After 14 years, it seems we have reached some of our goals. Our main goal was to get people involved, to continue local development and to offer something for the players who can not go to international events. But in the last 2 years, we have had the feeling many players are only chasing points and don't really care about helping the game to grow. We really need to continue to work to have more new players, more new clubs organising tournaments and more activities to promote Subbuteo table football. Do you think you are ready to help?

4) Blog: it's really hard to keep the blog updated. I would really appreciate it if organizers could send at least one picture of their tournament and a few lines about results and news about the event.

5) More ideas: all ideas to improve the WASPA circuit are welcome so, once again, your opinion is more than appreciated. You can give ideas about tournaments, individual rankings, rankings of clubs, prizes awarded at the end of the season...

6) Relations with FISTF: many organizers run WASPA tournaments as a consolation event at Grand prix, Opens or Satellites. What should we do to convince other organizers to join?

Well, that's all for now, I would really be happy to get some feedback!

Don't forget that the best way to send results is to send an e-mail to vincentcoppenolle@gmail.com

Have a great week,

Vincent Coppenolle

PS: see here some pictures of WASPA events played last month.

WASPA results from England - February and March 2025

The Subbuteo scene is just amazing in the UK with many different clubs organizing regular WASPA events. Some midweek tournaments are just a perfect way to keep local players motivated and are a source of inspiration to improve standards of play. Some bigger events attract larger fields of players and even the big ESA tournaments are played under WASPA banner, which is also a way to keep players involved. It's really hard to make regular stories about what's going on in England as there are many events. We are pleased to see new clubs (Milton Keynes TSC, Stourbridge Casual SC) or returning clubs (Rochford and Southend). There is a strong dynamic circuit and it's fantastic to see so many different players taking part. Here is just a brief summary of results of February and March.
A quick note to let everyone know the "special" events are also welcome. You can for instance run old rules tournaments, promotional event (not for the top players -> see rules int he WASPA handbook) or even tournaments with special rules.
We hope to make some better promotion of events run in England in the future and we would appreciate of someone could help writing stories. Thanks in advance for your help!
