after he beat Chris Aggelinas in the final.
On sunday, there ware 69 players in the Open category. Spyros Hantzaras won
his 2nd Open (the first win was in December 2008, almost one year day by
day) as he beat Velissarios Fragakis int he final. Kostas Triantafillou and
Kostas Sesses were the semi-finalists. Dimitris Koulosousas (U15) and
Giannis Vlassopoulos (U12) dominated their respective categories. Finally,
the great news from the week-end was that the organizers made possible to
host the first ladies tournament ever in Greece. 9 girls competed in the
event and Dionysia Koulosousa (Pireas Lions) won the final against Eirini
Patrikiou (Roligans). Well done to the greek association for such a nice
achievement.

2. Daniele Bertelli wins the Christmas tournament
As always, a lot of players attended the Christmas tournament organized by
the club of Stella Artois Milano (Italy). Daniel Bertelli (Pisa) won the
final against Francesco Torano (Bologna) while Bruno Mazzeo and Roberto
Rocchi were the semi-finalists. Patrizio Boscolo won the consolation
tournament. The club of Master Sanremo won the team event after beating
Pisa in the semi-final and Milano in the final. Carlo Alessi won the
veterans, Luca Zambello was the best U15 and Paolo Zambello won the U12
section. Doriana Illiano won the ladies final.

3. News from Quebec (Canada)
Pierre Chastenais tries to organise a table football tournament in Montreal
on saturday january 30th 2010, and if potential participants are able to
make the trip and play in one of the rare canadian events (Canada is, a
very big country, and it isn't everyone who can travel) there will be one!
Pierre will handle the organisation, but will need a referee-in-chief who
knows the rules of FISTF inside out. The event would be open to players
living on the east coast of the USA. If you are interested and can attend,
contact Pierre: quebecsubbuteo@yahoo.ca
