REMAINING INDIVIDUAL EVENTS FOR 2024 / 2025 SEASON

 
Our remaining Individual events took place in the Larne and District Pool League yesterday, Sunday 25th May in the Q.Club.
U15 Individuals
In the inaugural U15 event, 13 cueists took part with many making their first competitive competition appearance. It would be Ben Penney who would lift the title with a 5-4 victory over Kai McWhirter in a nail biting final. Credit to Kai who came back from 4-1 down but Ben would hold his nerve to pot a fine black.

U18 Individuals
There were 12 participants in the U18 event with a new name guaranteed on the trophy. A few U15s tried their hand at this and there were noticeable performances from Kain and Kai McWhirter. Kain got his way to the semi finals and Kai gave Northern Ireland u18 star Joel Quinn a tough battle in the quarters. It would be Quinn who would get his hands on the trophy though with a 5-2 win over the ever improving Lewis Millar.

U23 Individuals
There were 8 entries in the Under 23 section and it was good to see a couple of new names in it who have just started playing pool with the hope of playing next season in the League. The tie off the first round was an all Quinn clash between Joel and Jake with Jake edging the last frame in a good quality battle. Robbie Holden would comfortably come through the other half to set up a final with Jake. Unfortunately Jake never got going like he can and Robbie was ruthless to take the title with a 5-1 win. Another title in what has been a good year for Robbie.
Jamie McDonagh 5-0 Alex McCauley
Robbie Holden 5-0 Lukas Giulius
Jake Quinn 5-4 Joel Quinn
Jack Williams 5-0 Ben Penney
Robbie Holden 5-1 Jamie McDonagh

Grandmasters (Over 60s)
Unfortunately we only had 4 entries in our Grandmasters section with a number of other factors on the day affecting entry. Bill McIlroy Sr would add his name to the winners list to add to his long list of honours in the game.
Bill McIlroy 5-3 Liam McCorry
Rodney McIlhinney 5-1 Alex Irvine
Bill McIlroy Sr 5-0 Rodney McIlhinney

SLIPPYS TWO ARE CHAMPIONS

Congratulations to Slippy's Two Pool Team. The Pigeon Club side are now the official 2024 / 2025 Larne & District Pool League Champions.


Needing 2 points from their remaining 2 matches Slippy's trailed 2-4 tonight to Marty's Legends but reeled off 6 on the bounce and eventually ran out 10-5 winners with Chris Carson potting the title winning black ball. Tonight's win now makes it impossible for second placed Q. Stars to overtake them.
