What another amazing night in the Q.Club sponsored Larne & District Pool League. League leaders Five entertained bottom team Lorraine's Flyers who had yet to register a single point on the League table with more than half the season gone. But incredibly that point is now confirmed after they stormed back from 0-4 and 5-8 down to force a Play Off Frame where Joe Bell duly delivered to secure an unlikely 8-8 draw. Meanwhile Q.Stars kept their title push on track moving into secomd spot after overcoming a determined Freewheelers side by 9-6 with session scores 4-1,4-1.1-4. Up in the Rangers Club Ibrox put last weeks disappointment behind them with scores of 4-1, 2-3 and 3-2 in a 9-6 victory over Q.Club. Blues' fantastic season continues. After defeating Ibrox last week they travelled to Station Bar and came away with both points courtesy of an impressive 10-5 win with session scores of 3-2, 4-1 and 3-2. It was tension all the way in the St Comgalls Club derby match as the hosts St Comgalls blew a great chance to close the gap on League leaders Five to one point. They led 4-1 but after the fifteenth rack was over trailed 7-8 and had to rely a Play Off Frame win by Anthony McCorry to salvage a point. Last but not least, Q.Tips stay very much in the hunt after a solid 12-3 win at home to Thatch Rockets. Session scores were 3-2, 5-0 and 4-1.

It was back to League action tonight after the Christmas break and result of the night must go to Alex Irvine's Blues who easily seen off fourth placed Ibrox by 11-4 to make it three points out of four against the Rangers Club team this season. Session scores for Blues were 3-2, 4-1 and 4-1. St Comgalls remain in second spot after putting in another great performance, this time away to Q.Club. Alphonsus McIlwaine's side won by a more than convincing 11-2. Q.Stars kept up their title challenge coming away from Thatch Rockets with a hard earned 9-6 win. Q.Tips also stay in touch albeit via a deciding Play Off Frame win away to tenth placed Clonlee, never an easy hunting ground for Hugo Manson's lads. Lorraine's Flyers were busy in the Transfer Window over Christmas but they are still looking for their first points on the board after Jordan Peoples' Freewheelers came away from the Pigeon Club with a 9-6 success. Session scores were 2-3, 3-2 and 1-4. And last but not least League leaders Five stay top after a solid 10-5 win over Micky O'Boyle's Station Bar, the damage was done in the first two sessions 4-1, 4-1 and 2-3.

Quarter Finals 13th December

Five 6-8 Q.Club
Ibrox 6-8 Q.Stars
Freewheelers 4-8 St Comgalls
Q.Tips 8-0 Lorraine's Flyers

We had a break from League action tonight as the Knock Out Cup Quarter Finals took centre stage in the Q. Club venue. And result of the night must go to Ryan Scott's Q.Club team who came back from 1-4 down against League leaders Five to record a great 8-6 win to take their place in the Semi Final draw. Gareth Fears was the hero of the hour reverse dishing in the fourteenth frame to seal the deal for Q.Club.

Hugo Manson's Q.Tips were first into the hat wasting no time as they stormed to an 8-0 whitewash of bottom side Lorraine's Flyers.

A fantastic match unfolded between Ibrox and Q.Stars, Ibrox raced into a 3-0 lead but by the end of the second session the scores were level at 5-5. Ibrox took Frame 11 but three on the trot including the all important fourteenth by Aaron Rolston sent Nick McClay's lads into the Semi Finals.

Last but not least, St Comgalls took their place after seeing off Freewheelers. Alphonsus McIlwaine's side stormed out of the blocks to lead 7-1, Freewheelers rallied to 7-4 but St Comgalls stalwart Anthony McCorry ensured a Semi Final spot for his team by winning Rack 12 for an 8-4 success.

The Semi Final draw will be made at our next Delegates meeting in the St Comgalls Club on Thursday 3rd January

Clonlee 6-9 Q.Stars
Lorraines Flyers 2-13 Station Bar
Q.Club 7-9 Q.Tips
Thatch Rockets 6-9 Freewheelers

What a night of drama we had in the Q.Club sponsored Larne & District Pool League in the last round of League fixtures before the Christmas break. League leaders Five were strolling at 8-3 up at home to fourth placed Ibrox but the Rangers Club team stormed right back to take the match into a Play Off frame. Johnny Nelson was unlucky to go in off on his break and Neil Campbell duly cleared up to give Ibrox an unlikely 8-8 draw. Second placed St Comgalls had a great chance to close the gap to one point on Five but they couldn't take advantage as they too were held to an 8-8 draw after a fighting performance awat to Alex Irvine's Blues, session scores were 4-1, 2-3, 2-3 and 0-1. Q.Stars however did take advantage of results elsewhere winning 9-6 away to a spirited Clonlee side. Hugo Manson's Q.Tips also gained ground on the top four though they had to rely on a Chris Carson Play Off frame win in their derby match against Ryan Scott's Q.Club team. Station Bar had the biggest win of the night a 13-2 demolition away to basement team Lorraine's Flyers who have still to register a point on the board. Last but not least Freewheelers leapfrogged Clonlee into ninth position courtesy of a tight 9-6 away win against Thatch Rockets. Session scores were 3-2, 3-2 and 3-2 again in favour of Jordan Peoples' side

Station Bar 4-11 Ibrox

Nick McClay's Q.Stars and Ryan Scott's Q.Club battled out an exciting 8-8 draw in the derby match with session scores of 3-2, 2-3 and 2-3, Stars secured their point courtesy of a Ryan Marcus break and dish Play Off frame win. Michael Wilson's Ibrox side looked in trouble early doors when they trailed at Station Bar 3-2 after the first session, but a straight missed black by the railway side spurred the visitors into action and they reeled off nine racks on the trot running out 11-4 winners. Hugo Manson's Q.Tips had far too much tonight for the Blues and session scores of 4-1, 4-1 and 5-0 gave the hosts two comfortable points. St Comgalls wonderful season looked to be continuing as they entertained League leaders Five. The hosts led 2-0 but then hit a brick wall as Bryan McWhirter's side ran off nine frames on the bounce to guarantee the victory and open up a two point gap at the top of the table. Final score was St Comgalls 4-11 Five. The bottom two sides clashed in the Pigeon Club and it was Ali Law's Thatch Rockets who prevailed over Lorraine's Flyers winning each session 3-2 for an important two points. Third from bottom Clonlee won 10-5 at Freewheelers and in doing so leapfrog their opponents in the League table, a solid win for Francie Gribben's side.

Blues 5-10 Q.Stars
Clonlee 5-10 Thatch Rockets
Ibrox 13-2 Lorraine's Flyers
Q.Club 8-8 Freewheelers
Station Bar 3-12 St Comgalls

Q.Tips, after a slow start to their season, put in a great performance to halt the 100% record of League leaders Five by securing the last three racks including a Chris Carson Play Off frame success to claim a point in an exciting 8-8 draw. Five are now joint top with St Comgalls who negotiated a possible banana skin fixture winning 12-3 away at Station Bar to continue their remarkable season. The two top sides clash in the next League fixture, Thursday 22nd November.

Q.Stars stay in touch at the top end of the table with a solid 10-5 win over stablemates The Blues. Nick McClay's Q.Stars were never behind in the match and took both points courtesy of session scores of 4-1, 3-2 and 3-2

Ibrox secured two points with a comprehensive win at home to newcomers Lorraine's Flyers. Michael Wilson's team raced into a 5-0 lead before Flyers took the first two racks of the second session. The comeback wasn't to be and Ibrox took all remaining frames for a 13-2 scoreline. 

Freewheelers rescued a superb point at Q.Club coming from 1-4 and then 3-8 behind to draw 8-8 with Gareth McIlroy winning the ultimate sixteenth rack for Jordan Peoples' side.

Last but not least, well done to Thatch Rockets who move off the bottom of the table after winning at Clonlee to register their first points off the season. Ali Law's team won by a convincing 10-5 scoreline with session scores of  4-1, 2-3, 4-1.

League Week 8 Fixtures

Wednesday 7th November

Clonlee 8-8 Blues (postponed from Week 6)

Well done Clonlee on winning their first League point of the season in last nights rearranged fixture with the Blues. The St Comgalls Club team trailed 5-8 but staged a fine comeback to force a Play Off frame and young Conor Matthews duly delivered for the hosts to rescue the point.

Thursday 8th November

Q.Tips 12-3 Station Bar
Freewheelers 9-7 Blues
Lorraines Flyers 7-9 Clonlee
Q.Stars 7-9 Five
St Comgalls 9-6 Ibrox
Thatch Rockets 4-11 Q.Club

Something had to give at the top end of the table tonight in Week 8 of the Q.Club sponsored Larne & District Pool League as 1st played 3rd and 2nd played 4th. And after the dust had settled it was Five and St Comgalls who both widened the gap with important wins over Q.Stars and Ibrox respectively. Five trailed 0-4 after a superb start by Q.Pool but the League Leaders staged a great comeback inspired by Ronan McCarthy who won four from four on the night including the all important Play Off frame. Up in the St Comgalls Club the hosts took the first session 4-1 against Ibrox and it proved to be the difference as the next two were shared 2-3 and 3-2. It's another big win for St Comgalls before they face tough upcoming fixtures away to Station Bar and at home to Five. Q.Tips got back to winning ways with an emphatic 12-3 victory at home to Station Bar, Hugo Manson's team never looked back after winning all five racks in the first session and they repeated that score in the last session. After being involved in a Play Off frame in last nights rearranged match Blues' match went the full distance again, but this time they had nothing to show for it as Lee Gribben secured both points for Freewheelers with a B&D in Frame 16 giving himself a fine four from four in the match in which Freewheelers were trailing by 5-7 at one stage. Lorraine's Flyers entertained Clonlee  and it also went the distance but agonizingly for the League newcomers it was Clonlee who took the honours to register another two points on the League table. Last but not least Ryan Scott's Q.Club turned it on away to Thatch Rockets, session scores were 0-5, 3-2 and 1-4 and subsequently move up to seventh.

Ibrox 10-5 Q. Tips
Q. Club 11-4 Clonlee
St Comgalls 11-4 Lorraine's Flyers
Station Bar 8-8 Q.Stars

In Week 7 of the Q.Club sponsored Larne & District Pool League a titanic battle unfolded in the Station Bar where Micky O'Boyle's side entertained Nick McClays Q.Stars. And when the final black of the night had been potted the points were shared in a pulsating 8-8 draw with Q.Stars maintaining their unbeaten start thanks to a Neil McKelvey Play Off frame win

Michael Wilson's Ibrox badly needed a result after last weeks defeat by Q.Stars. It wasn't looking good when Hugo Manson's Q.Tips raced into a 3-1 lead in the Rangers Club but Ibrox responded with a great run of six on the trot before winning the last session 3-2 for an overall win of 10-5.

St Comgalls remain unbeaten in second place after a home win against Alan Nicholl's Pigeon Club side Lorraine's Flyers even though they had a scare early on trailing 3-2 after the first session. Paul Smyth's side eventually hit top gear running out 11-4 winners.

Ryan Scott's Q.Club side registered their third win of the season, an 11-4 home success over Francie Gribben's Clonlee. Session scores were 3-2, 5-0 and 3-2.

League leaders Five were untroubled also winning 11-4. Bryan McWhirter's team had session scores of 4-1, 4-1 and 3-2 over Jordan Peoples' Freewheelers.

Blues fine season continued with Alex Irvine's side moving up to fifth position with a game in hand after a hard fought 9-6 home win over Ali Law's Thatch Rockets. Trailing 5-6 Blues had to win the last four racks of the match to secure both points.

Bryan McWhirters' Five remain in top spot after tonights action in Week 6 of the Larne & District Pool League. They steamrolled bottom team Thatch Rockets losing only one frame out of the fifteen played. St Comgalls had a great win over a strong Q.Tips team to remain one point behind Five. The match was tight all the way and fittingly went to a Play Off frame. Up stepped Dean McDonagh to win it for the visitors though he was very fortunate as his opponent had an unlucky in off after potting the black. Nick McClays Q.Stars were in fine form too and also remain only one point behind the leaders after a clinical home display against previously unbeaten Ibrox. Session scores were 4-1, 4-1 and 3-2. Micky O'Boyle's Station Bar side continue to climb the table this time the Railwaymen registered a 10-5 away win over Freewheelers. Station had session scores of 4-1, 3-2 and 3-2. Ryan Scott's Q.Club registered their second win of the season away to Lorraine's Flyers. Flyers were well in the match right up to 5-7 but Q.Club took the final three racks to secure both points.
