ETS SUBBUTEO CLUB The Bacon Roll Open
12 JUNE 2022 @ ETS

Our planned tournament went ahead as scheduled, even though we did not have a very good turnout due to players having prior commitments and arrangements.
You only need 3 Players, so we pushed on through a chilly Winter morning over in South Africa.

The games played were of a very high standard with the players on the day all showing some serious Goalkeeping skills to boot.

The first game saw Liam outwit Gary after an error from Gary's kicking keeper left Liam with a tap in open goal chance, which literally trickled over the line for the only goal of the first game.

Liam carried on with his good form in match 2 and after another fine display of goalkeeping by both sets of keepers, a low driven shot to the bottom right was saved onto the right-hand post, but sadly the ball had too much spin and back spun into the bottom right-hand corner. A second victory for Liam and a rather uphill battle for Gary and Jason remained.

Game 3 and Gary and Jason showed some very good combination plays with at least 5 chances each created. Once again both players had their A Game on from a goalkeeping point of view and this one ended in a stalemate after Jason chipped over in the dying seconds of the match.

Game 4 saw Gary continue to dominate with the Goalkeeper and he managed to hold Liam at bay, as did Liam down the other end to force a very entertaining 0 – 0 draw.

The 5th game of the day saw Jason manage to make up for all his earlier misses and grab a 1 0 lead from a well worked corner, with a top corner “HOLLYWOOD” finish. With the clock winding down, a second goal was managed, low and from the right-hand side of the box, beating the keeper low down leaving the ball nestled in the keepers bottom right hand corner.

Game 6 required Gary to win by 2 clear goals to have a second spot finish, however once more the two players showed some ridiculous goalkeeper saves and the game ended 0 – 0 with both players having plenty of chances to finish the tie.

THE FINAL OF SAVES
In a very fast paced and entertaining match, both players were out the blocks early on and each had early chances in quick succession with the goalkeepers called into action once more. A few posts and crossbars were smashed, before Jason managed to open up the scoring and hold a lead for all of 3 minutes. Liam created a good flowing move down the right-hand side and Jason played a poo block flick and Liam did not hesitate to smash the ball into the keepers bottom right hand corner.
All square as the full-time whistle blew from Mr. Downs.

Penalty flicks ensued and with neither player happy about the flicks, as both do not like them at all.

• Both of the first flicks were saved
• Jason managed to finish his second flick low and hard to the keepers right and saved the second one from Liam – Advantage Jason
• The rest of the flicks were all miraculously saved by both parties and it left Jason as the Winner on the Day with a full-time score of 1-1 followed by a 1-0 Penalty Flick win.

THE FINAL
Liam 1 v Jason 1 (Jason win 1-0 on penalty flicks)

A brilliant time was had by all and we had a very good turnout of spectators who came along and supported us on the day. Thanks to Lloyd and Annette, our hosts from ETS who once again went the extra mile to make sure all players and spectators were fed and received lots of liquid refreshment.

Thank you for the laughs, Gentlemen and Ladies… ETS SUBBUTEO CLUB

Here are the results from an unplanned WASPA competition held yesterday completely out of the Blue

ETS NEW YEAR TOURNAMENT

On Sunday, Jason received a visit from Martin Plaskett and a few minutes later, Liam arrived at the house and immediately we said, hey we are now 3 players, let us have a quick tournament.

Often the best days of your life are unplanned, and this one just turned out to be one of those days.

The table was set and off we flicked, and had a fantastic time in doing so.

Jason 1 Martin 2
Jason 4 Liam 1
Martin 1 Jason 0
Liam 0 Martin 2
Liam 2 Jason 3
Liam 0 Martin 3
Jason 2 Martin 3
Liam 1 Jason 3
Martin 4 Liam 0

We played each other 3 times and had a grand final (38 GOALS in total were scored)

In the final, the first half was played under electricity and then at half time, we suddenly had a power outage.
We quickly gathered some camping lights and let the fun continue, nothing was going to stop us finishing this round of games

FINAL

Martin 2 Jason 4 (Half Time 0-3)

A brilliant day was had by all and it was good preparation for our first official tournament of 2022 at ETS Subbuteo Club on 12 February 2022 “The Hand Sanitiser Cup”
