Clinton Gahwiler claims New Year event in South Africa

Clinton Gahwiler claimed bragging rights with a 2-0 win over Sven Rademan in the New Year event in Cape Town.

The table football scene in South Africa continues to grow, and it is hoped South Africa will become a member of FISTF and compete in  the World Cup in Rome in September.

In spite of a few regulars missing, the Cape Town lads had a great turn-out of 16 that enabled four groups of 4.

More impressively, there were 3 new returnees to the game, 5 kids playing, and a great bunch of guys who were introduced to the game by a grandparent, and have been playing together the past few months who joined for the first time.
