7th title for Shane Hoopfer

The players of the Calgary Subbuteo Club met last week for their monthly tournament. This time only six players were present. All of them played a group stage and Shane Hoopfer finished on top with 13 points. There was no surprise in the barrage round as Tom Stevenson defeated Keifer Korol and Josh Braun beat Ben Herrel. In the semis, Shane Hoopfer beat Josh Braun by a single goal while Logan Stevenson beat Tom Stevenson on shots. In the final, there was no surprise as Hoopfer beat Stevenson by a clear 3-0 to claim his 7th title in the WASPA circuit. Well done Shane!

Peter Sexton wins in Hamilton

It was a great day of subbuteo in Hamilton on saturday as the local club tried the Swiss style and with the help of their technical director Stephen McNab it was a wonderful tournament. Unfortunately too many posts and crossbars kept Stephen from making it to the final. It was a repeat match up from the last final with Brodyn Sexton and Peter Sexton Peter came out the winner this time around. We had 9 players out which is great in the summer. Thanks to all that came. One last tournament and our first year as the HSC is officially in the books. can't wait for the next year as we have some more vested players to come out.

Semi-finals
Peter Sexton - Shaun Burt 1-0
Stephen McNab - Brodyn Sexton 0-1

Final:
Peter Sexton - Brodyn Sexton 5-1
