Results from FISTF Leicester International Open – 16th July, 2011

Three members of the Weoley Castle Subbuteo Club, Adam Washbrook, Owen Shelley and Richard Tubb , took part in their first Federation International Sportst Table Football (FISTF) tournament in over twenty years at the Leicester International Open at the British Gas Academy in Leicester on Saturday 16th July, 2011.

Adam Washbrook fared the best of the three in the Group Stages, recording a victory – whilst Owen and Richard finished bottom of their respective groups against tough opposition.

In the Plate tournament, Richard and Owen were drawn against one another and went to an exciting Penalty Shoot out which Richard won in Sudden Death, whilst Adam found his opponent too tough to overcome.

Richard progressed to the Plate Quarter Finals where he lost a competitive game to end his involvement.

Thanks to everyone at the Leicester IO for making the Club’s return to FISTF competition a fun one – the score lines may not have been flattering, but all three Weoley Castle players came away with smiles on their faces!

Results from 9th July, 2011

After a summer break, the Weoley Castle Subbuteo Club got back together for a small round-robin tournament to see if reigning Champion Richard Tubb could hold on to his title.

The players had lost none of their skill in the past couple of months, with some very tight matches and lots of last-gasp goals!

In the round-robin tournament results:-

Owen Shelley	1	Paul Tubb	1	HT: 0-0
Richard Tubb	1	Owen Shelley	1	HT: 1-0
Adam Washbrook	0	Paul Tubb	0	HT: 0-0
Adam Washbrook	1	Richard Tubb	4	HT: 0-2

Owen Shelley	2	Adam Washbrook	1	HT: 1-0

Final Table

Owen Shelley	1	2	0	4	3	5
Paul Tubb	0	3	0	2	2	3
Adam Washbrook	0	1	2	2	6	1

So despite very stiff competition, Richard Tubb holds on to his title for his first defence by virtue of Goal Difference over runner-up Owen Shelley!

Adam, Owen and Richard now travel to Leicester for the Leicester International Open tournament, their first ESTFA tournament in some twenty years!

Results from 29th April, 2011

Bedlam Wood was the setting for the latest  Weoley Castle Subbuteo Club meeting, with a renewed sense of anticipation that reigning champion Paul Tubb (pictured right) could be knocked off his throne!

The round-robin tournament ended with it’s tightest ever finish, three players in contention for the title as the last round of matches took place!

The AstroTurf at Bedlam Wood provided a different playing surface for everyone to adjust to, and there were some great matches – including Adam Washbrook scoring a winner in the last 90 seconds to defeat Owen Shelley 1-0, and some solid Goalkeeping from Richard Tubb as he held off a continued assault from Owen Shelley, with a goal in each half to win 2-0!

Here’s a short video of Arron almost scoring a long-shot against Adam!

Arron moves in for a long-shot against Adam!

In the round-robin tournament results:-

Arron Shelley	0	Adam Washbrook	3	HT: 0-3
Paul Tubb	0	Richard Tubb	0	HT: 0-0

So a new champion is crowned! Richard Tubb takes the title with a clean-sheet in a hotly contested Round-Robin tournament!

Doubles Matches

Post-competition, three Doubles matches took place – played using Small Ball for fast paced matches!

In an ill-tempered clash that saw Arron Shelley shown a Yellow Card for his constantly arguments with referee Adam Washbrook, Owen Shelley and Richard Tubb scored two goals in the second half to come back from being 1-0 down at half time and beat Paul Tubb & Arron Shelley 2-1.

The Shelley Brothers then put on a superlative display of doubles talent, destroying Paul Tubb & Adam Washbrook 3-0 after leading 2-0 at Half-Time!

Finally, Adam Washbrook and Richard Tubb scored a goal in each half to win 2-0 against Owen Shelley and Paul Tubb!

After a three-way chase for the championship crown this meeting, there is a new sense of competition at the top of the table – who will be champion at the next meeting?

Results from 20th April 2011

The Weoley Castle Subbuteo Club came together for a set of matches again on the 20th April, with everyone striving to topple reigning champion Paul Tubb!

Played on the clubs new Woodentops baise pitch, there were some great matches – including Paul Tubb coming from 1-0 down against Owen Shelley to romp to a stunning 4-1 victory, and Richard Tubb coming from 2-0 behind against Adam Washbrook to win 3-2 with the winning goal scored with the very last flick of the game!

Here’s a short video of Paul scoring a goal on the counter attack against Owen!

Paul scores against Owen

Post-competition, two friendly doubles matches were played, using Flats and Big Ball! Adam Washbrook and Richard Tubb (Flats) lost to Paul Tubb and Owen Shelley (Total Soccer) 0-1, and then gained revenge as Paul and Owen played with Flats and lost 1-0 to Richard and Adam using a Zeugo team!

The club move on to Bedlam Woods, home of Adam Washbrook for their next meeting – with plans to move to a permanent venue to allow more players to compete at regular club meetings. If you’re interested in joining us, let us know!

Results from TSPA Birmingham League Open Tournament – 6th February 2011

Three members of the Weoley Castle Subbuteo Club, Adam Washbrook, Owen Shelley and Richard Tubb , took part in their first competitive tournament in over twenty years at the Table Soccer Players Association Birmingham League Open in Boldmere on Sunday 6th February 2011.

TSPA rules differ slightly to modern FISTF Subbuteo rules, but are very similar to the “old Subbuteo” rules the Weoley Castle Subbuteo Club play to. The veterans of the circuit were very patient in accommodating Owen, Adam and Richard as they made the adjustment though!

It was a great days playing in a venue kindly organised by Rob Paterson, and of the 12 players who played, 8 received 5 games and 4 received 6 games – all in great spirit.

The format was 3 groups of 4, with the top 2 qualifying to 2 further groups of 3, with the top 1 then qualifying to the final, the same format was used in the plate. Wins were awarded 2 points. A Draw 1 point.

So after enduring a few hammerings in the group stage, Richard Tubb walked away as Plate Runner-Up, adding the first trophy to the Weoley Castle Subbuteo Club’s new trophy cabinet!

We’d like to thank everybody at the TSPA and Birmingham League for their warm welcome, and look forward to playing “Big Ball” again soon!

Results from 4th February, 2011

The Weoley Castle Subbuteo Club got together again on the 4th February, Owen Shelley riding into the evening as reigning champion!

The night saw the first batch of new larger “Professional” Goalkeepers used – as Adam Washbrook and Richard Tubb employed them. Owen and Paul Tubb also deployed their new Total Football teams, Adam using a new Zeugo team for the first time, whilst Richard used a Sureshot team in the colours of “Roy of the Rovers” own Melchester Rovers!

In the round-robin tournament results:-

Richard Tubb	0	Paul Tubb	2
Adam Washbrook	0	Arron Shelley	2
Owen Shelley	0	Richard Tubb	3
Paul Tubb	1	Adam Washbrook	0
Arron Shelley	0	Owen Shelley	2
Richard Tubb	1	Adam Washbrook	1
Paul Tubb	7	Arron Shelley	0
Adam Washbrook	0	Owen Shelley	0
Arron Shelley	0	Richard Tubb	4
Paul Tubb	3	Owen Shelley	1

There were some great goals on offer, including a spectacular length of the field lob-shot from Adam against Richard, two top corner stunners from Paul in his demolition of Arron, and a sublime six-yard lob from Owen against Paul – spoiling Paul’s near clean-sheet run.

Final Table

Name	Won	Drawn	Lost	Goals For	Goals Against	Points
Paul Tubb	4	0	0	13	1	12
Richard Tubb	2	1	1	8	3	7
Adam Washbrook	1	2	1	3	2	5
Owen Shelley	1	1	2	3	6	4
Arron Shelley	0	0	4	0	15	0

So Paul Tubb romps to become new champion, with a virtually flawless display of unbridled power! The others will have to up their games to challenge him next time!

Owen, Adam and Richard now travel to Boldmere on Sunday 6th February for the TSPA Birmingham Tournament, the club players first exposure to a tournament environment in over 21 years. It’s sure to be a learning experience!

Results from 21st January 2011

The club got together on Friday 21st January for a mammoth session between 7pm and 2am, opened with the presentation of a new Astrobase Five-a-Side Pitch to Paul Tubb, who was celebrating his 31st birthday!

There was a break-out of new teams involved, as Adam Washbrook moved away from his traditional Lightweights to a new Zeugo team, Richard Tubb and Paul Tubb left their Heavyweights behind for Zeugo teams too, Owen Shelley used his Total Football team in preference to Heavyweights, and some doubles matches saw the return of the Flats and Big Ball!

In the round-robin tournament results:-

Paul Tubb	0	Adam Washbrook	0
Owen Shelley	2	Arron Shelley	2
Adam Washbrook	2	Owen Shelley	3
