First of all we would like to wish good luck to all players and clubs taking part in the Champion's League and the Europa League this week-end in Faversham, England. The continental cups for teams remain some of the most exciting and prestigious events of the season. Congratulations to the English Subbuteo Association for making this happen this week-end in Kent. We remember where England is coming from and we are very proud to see that WASPA contributed to the success and the rise of the sport in England.
We would also like to come back on the latest events played in the WASPA circuit as we received results from England, Ireland, Australia, Italy and Belgium. Thanks to all organizers for their great work to keep the game alive!

In the main event, Kevin Cordell (Stanway) was in a great day and defeated Chris Short (Pedmore) in the final to win the tournament and take the lead of the Championship. Wolverhampton players Mick Hammonds and Justin Scott made it to the semi-finals.
