Scottish Circuit Event 2

The second Scottish Circuit event took place at the Normandy Hotel, Renfrew on Sunday 23rd March. The competition took the form of a four round Swiss system and also qualified as a WASPA (World Amateur Subbuteo Players Association) tournament. Gareth Christie defeated Steve Bennett in the final round match. Christie scored the only goal of the game with the last flick of the ball after winning a free-kick with seconds remaining. Both players are now tied on the same points with the final event due in May. Tom Burns finished third. In round 3 he had led Bennett at half-time but the experienced campaigner Bennett came back to win the match.

 

The turn-out was a healthy 17 players. Unfortunately two of Glasgow’s top players, Dave Butler and Willie Fleming were unable to attend and Edinburgh’s Hot Club were represented by only two players. Nevertheless the tournament was thoroughly enjoyed by all participants.
