Clinton Gähwiler (Cape Town City TFC) clinches the CT OPEN 2019
A rainy day in Cape Town provided the perfect backdrop to this year’s Open tournament. A
relaxed, fun afternoon, with plenty of laughter, jibes and goals. And a truly fantastic display of the
old Subbuteo equipment and accessories by local collector Brendon!
The final capped it all off – an epic affair, decided ultimately by a dramatic own-goal in the last
minute of play. (Report by Clinton Gähwiler, CTCSC & SATFA President).
