Scottish Circuit Event 2, Normandy Hotel

The second Scottish circuit event took place on Sunday 16th November at the Normandy Hotel in Renfrew. Disappointingly only 6 of the 16 participants were from the Glasgow club. Many thanks, therefore, are due to the travelling Tayside players. But all players enjoyed a fine day of competitive subbuteo. Steve Bennett was tournament winner defeating Tom Burns in the final by the narrow margin of 2-1. At the last event Burns had reached the semi-final only to lose to Gareth Christie. In a repeat of that semi, it was Burns who got the upper hand this time, scoring a golden goal to secure his final place.

 

 

 

It was also a good tournament for Barry Corr who defeated Greg Dand to reach the semi-final where he lost to Steve Bennett. Colin Day finished runner-up in his group but narrow defeats to Rob Conway and Andy Beskaby left him 8th overall. Dave Gladman found himself in what was undoubtedly the toughest qualifying group along with Greg Dand, Barry Corr and new boy Drew Orr. Gladman had to settle for third place after drawing with Corr and losing narrowly to Dand 1-0. Gladman was able to win his two play-off matches to finish 9th. John Halpin also finished 3rd in his group and won one of his play-offs to finish 11th. Fraser McKenzie found it difficult in his qualifying group but he went on to finish 13th after winning both his play-off matches. In the second match, against Martin Campbell he won on shots, scoring 4 out of 5 attempts.
