Number 10 for Bevin Reed

Saturday 18 November 2017, Pretoria, South Africa :
Once again Bevin Reed proved just too strong for a field of 15 entries to capture the 2017 PFC Scudo Campioni event !
Over the 30 scheduled fixtures, we witnessed all the thrills, spills, shock results, counter attack movements, good goalkeeping skills and the achievements of personal milestones that the sport of Subbuteo can provide !
Below are a few notes of mention and highlights stemming from this event :
Ø  The noticeable absence of Chessray Jooste from the event due to pre-arranged commitments elsewhere
Ø  Thanks to debutant Nathanael Thyssen for a new club milestone - a record entry of 15 participants !!!
Ø  Chris Abrahamse recording his first ever win by 1-0 over Imtiaz Ahmed in Match 1 !!!
Ø  Imtiaz Ahmed registering his first ever win by 2-0 over debutant Nathan Thyssen in Match 11 !!!
Ø  Conway Julie confirming his first ever victory over Julian vd Merwe (by 1-0)  - adding more misery to Julian following his poor run at last weekend's Cape Town Open
Ø  The exciting 1-1 Round 3 draw between Bevin Reed and Jayden vd Merwe - considered by many as the defining moment of the event. A match where Jayden took a well deserved lead
Ø  Strangely enough, the first ever matchup between Gary Downs and Julian vd Merwe in Match 17, with Julian taking the honours with a 1-0 win this time around !!!
Ø  The excellent goalkeeping skills of Gary Downs in Match 23 to survive an onslaught from Jayden - frustrating Jayden to a 0-0 draw, with Jayden clinching 2nd place overall !!!
Ø  An impressive 3rd place finish for Conway Julie - undefeated on the day !!!
Ø Chris Abrahamse (playing only his second event) finishing tied 5th overall with Stanton Nortjie - both players posting undefeated runs !!
Ø The official announcement that Gary Downs has now pledged his allegiance to Pretoria Flickers Club - welcome aboard Gary !!!
Ø Thanks to Gary for providing the club with 4 "half-sized" training pitches to help members sharpening up their skills !!!
Ø A personal milestone for Bevin Reed as he registered his 10th WASPA title to date !!!!

only to be caught on a brilliant counter attack movement by Bevin within the final minute of play !!!

As always, a big thank you to all who attended to make the day a great success.
