Report by Martinog
Bradley: "A brilliant days Subbuteo was had
by everyone. The quarter finals saw Martinog
Bradley go out to Brendan Rodgers following a
tense sudden death shoot out, with Barry Spence
sending Mark McCrossan home for an early bath
with a 1-0 defeat. The two other quarters came to
an inevitable end with both Mark Farrell and
Kenny Beggs heading comfortably into the semis.
Farrell stormed into the final on a 5-0 high
against Rodgers, whilst Spence made the road a
bit rockier for Beggs. The final played to a
fairly one sided tune, with Beggs having the best
of the play and an early goal in the second half.
Farrell responded in kind to bring the game
level, but it was a legendary strike from Beggs
in the dying seconds that secured his victory to
become All Ireland Champion and unseating Farrell
for the first time in six years. The Plate
competition saw Nicky Moore from Wexford lift his
first Subbuteo silverware after defeating his two
opponents, Oisin Mor and Paul Boyle. Special
mention must go out to DCTFC’s newest
member, Jude Morrow, who on his first tournament
and after only 2 months playing the game, got out
of his group and into the quarter finals of the
main competition."
Thanks again to
our hosts, Derry City Sports and Social Club, and
to Martinog Bradley & Derry City TFC for
organising the event.
Kenny Beggs won
the 5th Leg of the WASPA Ulster Championship with a

Thanks to Martinog Bradley for organising another

enough points in the previous events to be
uncatchable.

league format. Martinog Bradley beat Kenny Beggs
1-0 in the opening match, to become the early
pace-setter. He topped the table for most of the

to Mark McCrossan proved costly, as Kenny won all
his remaining fixtures to overtake Martinog in
