From the FISTF newsletter (Thu Nov 8 07)
This week there are two stories in the FISTF newsletter about the SCSC:
13. USA: Maricopa Cup - Round 10 (by Kevin Nieman)
On Sunday, November 4, 2007, Wayne Smith of Northridge, California scored four wins, one draw, and no losses in Round 10 of the "Maricopa Cup"
competition to solidify his dominance of the Southern California Subbuteo Club. Wearing his new, purple Osnabrück kit to match his newly-painted, purple-clad figures,
Wayne was so dominant that he scored nearly double the goals that were scored by all other competitors combined. Simon Hutchinson of Simi Valley, California was
the only SCSC player to face Wayne and come away with a draw. Also, Simon's son, Dominic, held the distinction of being the only player in Round 10 to
actually score against Wayne. Finally, Round 10 served as a milestone for our own Kevin Nieman of Newbury Park, California as this day featured his 150th match with
the SCSC.
14. Subbuteo clubs twin
The Southern California Subbuteo club is proud to announce that they are 'twinning' with three other table soccer clubs:
- North East Table Football Club (NETFA) of Middlesborough, England
- West Coast Table Soccer Club (WCTSC) of Surrey, British Coumbia, Canada
- Singapore Lions Subbuteo Club (SLSC) of Singapore
"This is an exciting opportunity for us to form relationships with these three dynamic clubs," said Simon Hutchinson of the SCSC. "I think we all realize
that for this sport to become more popular we need to think beyond our local areas. It also formalizes some of the unofficial relationships we have with the members
of these clubs"

SCSC twins (Mon Nov 5 07)
The Southern California Subbuteo Club is proud to announce that they are "twinning" with three other table soccer clubs:
- North East Table Football Club (NETFA) of Middlesborough, England
- WestCoast Table Soccer Club (WCTSC) of Surrey, BC, Canada
- Lions Subbuteo Club (LSC) of Singapore
"This is an exciting opportunity for us to form relationships with these three dynamic clubs," said the SCSC secretary Simon Hutchinson. "I think we all realize that for this sport to become more popular we need to think beyond our local areas. It also formalizes some of the unofficial relationships we have with the members of these clubs."
Gurmeet Khaira of the WCTSC was enthusiastic about the twinning. "We are delighted to have forged a strong bond of international friendship with Southern California Subbuteo Club, USA," he said. "With these new relationship formed, support for the game is well maintained and expanded."
Mike Parnaby, NETFA club president, explained "Our aim is to make the North East Table Football Alliance a dynamic, exciting and friendly place to play our sport. In the spirit of friendship we are delighted to create a formal link between our club and the South California Subbuteo Club. In an ever shrinking world, we felt it was important to foster an international link. Hopefully the two clubs can develop the relationship further to enhance the table football experience of all involved."
"We are delighted. Lions Subbuteo Club is honored to be associated with another club from across the continent," said Erfandy Kusnadi of the LSC. "It is hoped that from this partnership, both clubs could benefit from each other through exchange of information, knowledge and ideas."
The LSC includes a former member of the SCSC who emigrated to Singapore in 2006.
"Ric Rivas was a stalwart of the local Subbuteo scene," Hutchinson told us. "He was so enthusiastic about the game he would always turn up for every meeting early. He is now a member of the Singapore Lions and it makes the twinning of our two clubs a bit special."
