Christmas Vacation Project

Here's a photo of my Christmas vacation project, the 1927-28 Rangers home and away teams that will make their debut at the HSC January tournament. Ordered various bases, discs, vintage figures, boxes and balls a couple of weeks before the holidays from LPM and Subbuteoworld. Did all the painting over the holidays. Not great but pretty good for first attempt from Mr. Shakyhands. Next set of bases, discs and figures are on the way from Tablesoccerusa for next painting project.

Been a bit lax in the old blogosphere but thought I'd better post this before it's forgotten. The HSC (Sexton/McNab family branch of 5 players) had a little Christmas flick-about on December 23rd with Stephen McNab beating Peter Sexton 1-0 in the final. There, it's written down, it happened. :-)

Next official tournament under the WASPA banner goes on January 13th at the Virginia Court HSC centre. 12 expected to compete. Results and photos here soon after the event.

Lionshead Tournament Dec 9

A great turnout of 15 players (including one from Australia) competed in the first Lionshead Subbuteo tournament, the second event held by the HSC. Results didn't differ much from the first event, Shaun Burt defeating Stephen McNab in one semi-final, Peter Sexton beating Brodyn Sexton in a shootout in the other semi. Peter defeated Shaun in the final. There were prizes, there was pizza, there was beer, there was fun and hopefully a few new enthusiasts were introduced to the game. Many thanks to the Lionshead Pub for hosting. Look for pictures tomorrow.

The HSC will host its second tournament of the season on Sunday, December 9th at The Lionshead Pub, 137 John Street South, Hamilton, Ontario. Signs are good that there will be a large turnout for the event. Results and photos here early next week.
