Over the last three days, athletes from all over Manchester have converged on Rileys American Pool and Snooker Club in Manchester’s Deansgate to compete in one of the city’s premier sporting fixtures, The Manchester Tornado (Foosball) Open. That’s table football to the uninitiated.

Categories this year include the coveted Open Singles title, a Pro-Am 2-Ball Rollerball crown and the Goalie War challenge.

So, if you’re in the area and fancy spending some time watching some quality football in Manchester, for a change, pull up a barstool at Rileys and feast on the action.

Is there offside at all in Foosball?
