Richard Edeson\u2019s improvement showed in his first ever FISTF event, conceding 8 then 4 then keeping a clean sheet!\u00a0 4-0 win next time perhaps!?<\/li>\n<li>Bryan Arnold defeating Luke Radziminski in their final group game to leapfrog him into top spot.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In the Round of 16 Luke Radziminski, Eliot Kennedy and Carl Young scored big wins against Paul Mercer, Kostas Barbaris and Tony Credentino, respectively.\u00a0\u00a0 Nick Brill also had a comfortable 3-1 win over Steve Dettre.\u00a0 Top scorer of the group stages, Adrian Connolly, lost his scoring boots and ultimately the game in a shootout to Nathan Urbaniak who held his nerve to score his final penalty shot.<\/p>\n<p>The round of 16 also threw up some clashes between players fancies to go deep into the tournament.\u00a0 In these games Peter Thomas overcame Vikas Chandiramani 1-0, Robert Green defeated Fabricio Coco 2-0 and Bryan Arnold bowed out in sudden death extra time against Daniel Lombard.<\/p>\n<p>In the quarter finals, Peter Thomas was too strong for Nick Brill, whilst Luke Radziminski was made to fight hard for his 2-0 win over Nathan Urbaniak.\u00a0 Eliot Kennedy\u2019s good form continued in a solid 3-1 win over Daniel Lombard.\u00a0 But the pick of the matches was Carl Young\u2019s win over Rob Green that drew a big crowd during extra time and penalties.\u00a0 Carl came from a goal down to draw 1-1 in normal time.\u00a0 With no score in extra time, Carl again went behind in penalties before scoring with his 5<sup>th<\/sup> penalty flick to take the game into sudden death shots in which he then scored again to take out an epic encounter between to champions of the game.<\/p>\n<p>In the semi-finals, Peter Thomas was again too strong for his opponent.\u00a0 This time club mate Luke Radziminski had no answers.\u00a0 Carl Young was again involved in another epic clash that will live long in the memories of many at the tournament.\u00a0 After Eliot took the lead, Carl again came back to draw level.\u00a0 However, this time he couldn\u2019t respond when Eliot Kennedy took the lead a second time.<\/p>\n<p>The final between Peter Thomas and Eliot Kennedy was a very tight game.\u00a0 After a period of second half possession deep in Eliot\u2019s half Peter ultimately was able to break open Eliot\u2019s defence and score what turned out to be the only goal of the game.\u00a0 The clash was also notable for Peter\u2019s ability to retain possession for the last 5minutes (and more!) of the game to kill off the clash.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_6061\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6061\" style=\"width: 225px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/subbuteoaustralia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/open-final.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-6061\" src=\"http:\/\/subbuteoaustralia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/open-final-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"FISTF Open finalists Peter Thomas (left) and Eliot Kennedy (right) with referee Carl Young (Centre)\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"http:\/\/subbuteoaustralia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/open-final-225x300.jpg 225w, http:\/\/subbuteoaustralia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/open-final-624x832.jpg 624w, http:\/\/subbuteoaustralia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/open-final.jpg 720w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-6061\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">FISTF Open finalists Peter Thomas (left) and Eliot Kennedy (right) with referee Carl Young (Centre)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Consolation Trophy<\/p>\n<p>A WASPA was held for the 9 players eliminated at the group stage of the FISTF event.\u00a0 Played in the Fast20 format, with no extra time in the event of a draw, it was a do or die knockout cup!<\/p>\n<p>Giuseppe Tardiota progress to the final without conceding, though had to fight hard to scrape past both Christos Garagounis in the \u00bc finals and Richard Wilson in the semis 1-0.\u00a0 Geoff Sirmai was his opponent in the final after narrowly defeating Tony Madiona 1-0 and then Beth Eveleigh on penalties in the semis.\u00a0 The final was a high scoring affair.\u00a0 At the end of 20mins the scores were tied 2-2.\u00a0 This time Geoff didn\u2019t have what was needed in the shootout, with Giuseppe taking out the title.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_6059\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6059\" style=\"width: 200px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/subbuteoaustralia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/pino.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-6059\" src=\"http:\/\/subbuteoaustralia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/pino-200x300.jpg\" alt=\"Consolation Trophy winner Giuseppe Tardiota.

Unfortunately for Richard, Vikas won 1-0 to clinch top spot, with Adrian taking second.<\/p>\n<p>The other group was very tight.\u00a0 All 4 players in the final round of games could progress.\u00a0 Geoff\u2019s win over Nick Brill gave him top spot and in doing so ended the chances of Nathan Urbaniak reaching the semis despite his win over Tony Madiona.\u00a0 Richard Edeson\u2019s earlier boilover win over Nathan ultimately cost him a spot in the semis after Nathan\u2019s great run into the quarter finals in Saturday\u2019s FISTF event.<\/p>\n<p>Playoffs were held for classifications.\u00a0 Richard Wilson defeated Nathan Urbaniak 1-0 to clinch 5<sup>th<\/sup>, and Tony Madiona defeated Kevin Grant on penalties to take out 7<sup>th<\/sup>.\u00a0 In the playoff for 8<sup>th<\/sup> Kevin defeated Richard Edeson 1-0 on sudden death penalties.<\/p>\n<p>In the semi-finals, Vikas and Adrian were again too strong for their opponents, setting up a return clash for the title.\u00a0 This time, after again conceding the first goal to Vikas, Adrian was able to level scores.\u00a0 Both players pressed hard for the winner in a very open game, but it was Vikas who took his changes to take the title.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_6060\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6060\" style=\"width: 200px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a

was held in round robin style.\u00a0 Whilst Northern Phoenix, boosted by the presence of American loan signing Bryan Arnold, put up stiff resistance in each game, the clashes between the other three clubs ultimately decided the winner and placings.\u00a0 Melbourne comfortably overcame Sydney TFC in what was a key result as in later games Northern Falcons could only draw with both Sydney TFC and Melbourne TFC.\u00a0 Rob Green\u2019s winner against Daniel Lombard was key to the Falcons getting a point against Sydney.\u00a0 The final game between Northern Falcons and Melbourne TFC decided the title.\u00a0 It was another gripping encounter with individual games and the overall team contest see-sawing at various stages of the matches.\u00a0 With this, Melbourne TFC topped the standings to take out the title<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_6057\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6057\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a
