Derry FISTF International GP 6th/7th June 2026

It was a successful weekend for Irish players in Derry. In the main event, Mark Farrell reached the Quarter-Final of a very strong field, just losing 1-3 to eventual winner, George Ebejer of Malta. His club, Yorkshire Phoenix finished runner-up in the Team Event. They had an excellent 2-2 draw in the final with current World No.1 club, Bormla (Malta), unluckily losing out on goal-difference. Andy Fitzpatrick was runner-up in the Individual Shield and Mario Frittelli reached the Plate S/F in his first FISTF event. They both won silverware with their club, Irish Premier League, lifting the Plate with victory over Hannover in the final.

HISTORY
The former governing body was the Republic of Ireland Subbuteo Association (RISA) headed by Martin Taylor. When the sport was at its peak in the early 1990s, Dublin was a highly respected International Open venue which attracted the World's top players.

From 1994-2002 the Irish Subbuteo scene declined but it was given a much needed boost when the Irish Team made a comeback at the 2002 World Cup in Birmingham. This led to the formation of the new governing body, TFAI, and the beginning of a new era, which has seen Ireland organise & travel to International Events, participate in the UK & Ireland Internationals and jointly organise the Irish Circuit with NITFA, their Northern Counterparts.
