Neil McKelvey of The Gers Pool Team is the new 2011 SRM Services Larne Pool League Individual Champion. The Last 16 competitors played off to a finish in the Rangers Club on the 4 Baizecraft Competition Tables. He beat Stephen McWhirter from Ibrox Pool Team, who played some of his best pool of the season to make the Final. And McWhirter came within a whisker of winning it when leading 5-4, but McKelvey levelled then took the deciding frame with an excellent positional shot on his last colour. It is Neil's 3rd time as Champion, the other two occasions being 2007 & 2008.
