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

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
