Friday Subbuteo (Fri Jul 16)
It was a mixed night of mainly friendly games, with only two Season 9 matches being played.
|
The two league games were important in the race for second place. First Kevin Nieman's Inter Nieman, who were in eighth place, beat Wayne Smith's left handed team, Left Hannover the Table 96. Inter could not continue their success in the second game as they were defeated by Simon Hutchinson's Simi City. These results mean that Simi need to win seven points in their five remaining games to claim the runners up position, from the Lefts. Inter's win widens the gap between them and bottom club, Jason Mitchell's Valley Irons, to six points.
There were four friendly games played as David Jensen and Dominic Hutchinson joined the three Season 9 participants. David and Simon finished the night with the best records with two wins and tied the game where they played each other. Wayne and Dominic fared the worse losing both of their games. Kevin just played the two league games.
Friday's friendlies (Fri Jul 9)
With the prospect of a second Friday without Subbuteo the Hutchinsons took matters into their own hands and played two friendly games.
Simon used the two teams he uses in Season 9, Simi City and Red Star, while Dominic used his new teams that he will be using in Season 10, Kumba '11. Dominic's Kumba '11 are mounted on G2 bases, previous versions of the Kumba franchise have been on SureShot bases. These games are part of his plan to be to be fully familiar with the new bases in time for the start of the new season.
Both games played out the same way: a goalless first half, Simon taking the lead early in the second half, Dominic equalizing, and then Simon going on to win. Simi City beat Kumba '11 "A" (first choice team) 2-1, and Red Star beat Kumba '11' "B" (second choice) 3-1.
