GP BRUSSELS







The first travel abroad for the season 2008-09 took place in the Brussels GP the weekend 8-9 of November.
The Athens Kickers team (Aggelos Tsakiris, Giorgos Aggelinas, Marcos Kapsabelis,Fotis Labi) didn’t manage to qualify from a hard group. We lost 0-2 against Delft and 0-3 against Stella Artois Milano and we finished third on a group of 4 (we beat Brussels ‘C’ 3-0).
On the individuals Giorgos WAS GREAT. He played in the veterans and he managed to reach the semis. 5 straight wins (one in sudden death in the quarter finals against Manganello) sealed a place in the semis. Then he lost against the world champion Martin Bom 0-2.
Aggelos and Marcos also played in the veterans. Marcos lost in the barrage game against Nico Marks on shots and Aggelos in the last 16 on shots against Martin Bom.
Fotis played in the open. He was qualified from the groups and lost in the last 32 against Roufosse 1-5.
