League Week 2

Thursday 20th September

Q.Club 6-9 Ibrox
Thatch Rockets 2-13 Q.Tips
Clonlee 3-12 St Comgalls
Lorraines 0-15 Five
Freewheelers 5-10 Q.Stars
Blues 10-5 Station Bar

Four teams maintained their 100% starts in the Larne & District Pool League last night. Nick McClay's Q.Stars overcame a gutsy Freewheelers side by 10-5 whilst Hugo Manson's Q.Tips ran riot away to Thatch Rockets with a 12-3 win. Alphonsus McIlwaine's St Comgalls team also had an emphatic win in the Club derby match against Clonlee seeing off their stablemates by 12-3. But the biggest win of the night goes to Bryan McWhirter's 'Five' who whitewashed Lorraine's 15-0. Whilst it is a big defeat for the League newcomers it let's them see the standard of one of the best sides in the League if not thee best on paper. Michael Wilson's Ibrox were nip and tuck all the way against Ryan Scott's Q.Club but the Rangers Club side were relieved to win the last two racks to get over the line at 9-6 to avoid having to go into a play off frame. Alex Irvine's Blues built on their good result from last week, a draw at Ibrox, to beat a strong Station Bar team by 10-5. That's two defeats now for the Railway Bar men but Micky O'Boyle has put together a good squad and it shouldn't be too long before they start climbing up the table.

Q. Tips 12-3 Clonlee
Q.Stars 13-2 Thatch Rockets
St Comgalls 9-7 Q.Club
Ibrox 8-8 Blues
Station Bar 6-9 "5"

Well League Week 1 has come and gone in our new season and what a night we had. A possible upset looked on the cards for last years Champions playing under the new name of "5". They were level at 6-6 away to Station Bar but like the true Champions they are they came good to take the last three racks for an important 9-6 win. But there was an upset in the Rangers Club where last seasons League Runners Up were held to a draw after a fine performance by Alex Irvine's Blues. Andy Mackey was the hero of the hour for the visitors winning the 16th Frame. Q.Tips were untroubled at home to Clonlee winning 12-3, Hugo Manson having once again built a team that can challenge at the top of the table. Alan Nicholl's newcomers Lorraine's got off to a dream start leading 4-1 away to Freewheelers but back came Jordan Peoples's side to lead 8-7 and take the match into a Play Off fame. And it was Jordan himself who played a Captains innings winning the rack for a 9-7 victory. Q.Stars had the biggest win of the night seeing off Thatch Rockets by a resounding 13-2. Another tight match was played out in the St Comgalls Club as Alphonsus McIlwaine's home side were taken to a Play Off fame by Ryan Scott's Q.Club. It went the way off St Comgalls courtesy of the ever consistent Anthony McCorry.

A 4-1 result in the next session seen St Comgalls lead 6-4 and it was all over two racks later when stalwart Anthony McCorry potted the winning black in Frame 12 to take the trophy back to the St Comgalls Club.

Defending trophy winners from last season Clonlee, who also play out of St Comgalls, were hoping to make it a double for the Club. But after the first two frames were shared it was all Freewheelers as Jordan Peoples' improving side took six on the trot to lead 7-1. Clonlee took the next, but it was all over when Gary Peoples sunk the black in Frame 10 to give his side an impressive 8-2 victory.

Q.POOL v BYE

The Q.Club sponsored 2017-2018 programme of the Larne & District Pool League came to an end tonight Thursday 2nd May. Bryan McWhirter's Pigeon Club, already crowned as Champions, finished off their campaign with a comfortable 11-4 win away to Alex Irvine's Blues. In the race for second position it was Ibrox who prevailed after a 9-6 home win against a dogged and determined basement Thatch Rockets side managed by Alaister Law. It was a good send off by the Rangers Club team to Manager Richard Todd who is stepping down from management next season. Gers season fizzled out with a 9-6 defeat away to Rubys Stars but Stuart Houston can be proud off the challenge they put in, they were right up there at the top most of the season but just fell away over the last month. Nick McClays' Rubys finish in eighth spot. Hugo Manson's Feathers finished off with a solid 10-5 win at home to Freewheelers to guarantee a fifth placed finish, Jordan Peoples's Freewheelers come in eleventh. Micky O'Boyles' Station Bar ended the season in style, seeing off Neil McFaul's Q.Club team by 11-4. Station finish ninth and Q.Club in sixth. In the St Comgalls Club derby match it was Paul Smyth's team who took the honours 9-6 against Francie Gribben's Clonlee. Clonlee finish twelfth with St Comgalls in a respectable seventh after a slow start to the season. Last but not least, William Irvine's Q.Pool side had a bye tonight but finish in third spot.
