The Anker Inn produced the shock of the round in the Phil Sayer Memorial Trophy beating Coton Bandits 7 - 5, Kelvin Tedds on cue to take the final frame to put the Weddy Roaders in to the quarter finals. Saying that though the table would of been a leveller in this match which is quite ironic as it certainly isn't level. Blue Boar, Jailhouse Convicts and Chapel End Libs 'A' all eased into the last 8 as did the Sally Wackers. Rose Inn 'A' were made to work hard by Atherstone Cons 'B' in a great match with Ralph Dearden miss-cueing his way into the winners enclosure.

Well done to James Willis who was on cue to take the Andy Yearby Memorial Shootout at the Atack Snooker Club beating Becs McCool in the final. Just like to say thank you to everyone who turned out in the memory of Yak. It really was a terrific night with a great atmosphere and some great pool. James beat some quality on his way to the final, but could of easily had an early exit as both Rob Dutton (L64) and Chris Hancox (L32) missed potable blacks against him. But in there sorts of events you need a touch of good fortune and James went on to beat Matt Jones (L16) Glenn Dunn (QF) and Jack Schofield (SF) to reach the final. In the other half of the draw an inspired Becs McCool beat Gaz Bailey (L64) John Grimes (L32) Steve Cotton (L16) Dave Walkingshaw (QF) before ending the great run of Matt Evans in the semi finals with a reverse dish. Special mentions for Karen Garner who produced the best clearance of the night against Malc Postin and to Dave Walkingshaw whose combination shot on the black against Chris McDermott was top draw. Thanks to Danny Barr of Quest Recoveries for his continued support. Also thanks to Danny (again) and Baz Hinde for helping me run the event and to Ian, Sonia and the staff at the Atack Snooker Club for looking after us once more.

Newdigate Sports Chris McDermott became the Nuneaton Singles champion last night beating team mate Glenn Dunn 4 - 2 in an absorbing final. The former England International who first won the competition some 35 years ago as a fresh faced 14 year old was in sparkling form throughout the final and semi finals. Dunn had created some openings but it wasn't to be, earlier Macca had beaten Coton Snooker's Joe Cooper in the last 4 while Dunn had seen off the challenge of the Rose Inn's potting plumber Steve Cooper.

Neil Randle finally got his hands on the Kev Bennett Masters title beating the Blue Boar's Alan Lockton 3 - 2 in a thrilling final in which he trailed 2 - 0 at one point. Former runner up and team mate of The Bear, Randle lived up to his nickname of 'The Great' by coming back from 2 - 0 not only in the final but also in the quarter finals against another Blue Boar cueman John Grimes, maybe we should add 'Escape' to the end of his nickname. In a super nights of pool at Coton Sports club, 8 players took to the baize, as well as Chick beating Mr G, Lockton produced a great performance to knock out favourite Glenn Dunn 3 - 1 while Glenn's Newdigate team mate Billy White faired a lot better beating the Fox Inn cue man John Oakley 3 - 0, finally the apparent heavyweight of Nuneaton Pool Malc 'Moonshine' Postin beat Chas Burns 3 - 0 to make the last 4. In the semi finals The Great (Escape) out potted Billy White 3 - 1 while Alan eased pasted Malc Postin 3 - 0. Both Alan and Neil played top draw pool in the final but The Great held his nerve to seal victory. Thanks to all the players that entered this season the number keep growing as the years keep rolling on bigger and better each season. Finally a big thank you to Baz Hinde for running the night and to Coton Sports Club for hosting and looking after us.

Well done to Joe Warren who was on cue to beat Chris Bampton 4 - 1 in the final of the 24 - 49's tournament last night at the Atack Snooker Club. Basher took the first frame thanks to an excellent positional shot landing plum on the black after potting his final yellow, but Joe levelled winning a very scrappy frame before clearing well to take a 2 - 1 lead. Bampton should have levelled the match but a loose positional shot cost him dear as he had to watch Joe clear to take 3 - 1 lead. Sadly lady luck seemed to have deserted Basher as Joe had a massive fluke snooker which although Chris escaped from, it left Joe a simple finish which he duly took

out to take the final. The mixed doubles competition also finished last night at the Atack with Hope Copson and Jack Schofield out potting Lisa Buckler & Mark Buckler 3 - 1 in a cracking final. It could of gone either way a both pairs created chances and each frame was so close. Earlier in the evening Hope & Jack beat Sian Winrow & Dave Lea in another very close match despite the score line while team Buckler beat Jess Parker & Greig Schofield in yet another close and entertaining match. Thanks to all the players that entered both competitions, 2ns year we've held them and both were much bigger this season. Thanks to the Atack Snooker Club for hosting and looking after us.

Well done to Atherstone Cons cueman Rich Mills who beat Newdigate captain Glenn Dunn in the final of the Dave Burnett Memorial Shootout at the Atack last night. Millsy played some cracking pool throughout the night and fully deserved the title. It was a great night on the baize where so many players were at the top of their game. Rich beat Chas Burns, Danny Evans, Billy White and the Great Chicken Randle to make the semi finals where he ended the great run of the Jailhouse's Becs McCool. In the other half of the draw Glenn had out potted Gaz Bailey, Clive Dicks, Colin Richards and then broke dished Raz Gadsby in the Quarter Finals. Raz had the right to reply in which he potted the black off the break so he had another chance but broke dry. In the last 4 Glenn had to use all his experience to end the impressive run of the Midland Railways Eddie Edkins. Shot of the night went to Ryan McCool against John Grimes with a fabulous 3 in 1 shot, escaped the snooker potted the ball and gained perfect position on his next ball. Thanks to all the players for a great turn was good to see a few old faces, thanks to Danny Barr for helping run the event and to Ian & Sonia at the Atack for hosting us once more.

Joe will take on Chris Bampton in the final after Basher produced the goods at Coton Sports Club beating Lewis Griffiths, Joe Cooper and Jack Griffiths to make his first individual event final.

The Jailhouse cueist had to use all her table craft to come from 2 - 1 down to beat the pot machine Astill. Both players produced some great pool throughout the final and the night with McCool thoroughly deserving to take the title. Earlier in the evening Becs beat Abbie Willis in a repeat of last seasons final in the last 8 before out potting former champion Karen Garner in the semi finals while Tash produced a fantastic display to beat Hope Copson in Round A before edging Zoe Griffiths in the quarter finals then beating another former champion Chantelle Green in the semi finals.

Jailhouse Houndogs are in pole position after potting a 7 - 5 victory over Coton Old Boys. Midland Railway are 2 points behind in 2nd place after an excellent 8 - 4 victory over Fox Inn while the Attleboro' Underdogs are a further 2 points behind in 3rd. But 4th & 5th placed Lamb & Flag and Fox Inn both have a game in hand and would go top with a win. The Flag beat The Anker 7 - 5 this week, Kelvin Tedds break dishing for the Weddy boys. Hearty Goodfellow continue their quest for the Division Two title with a close 7 - 5 victory over Rose Poke n Hope. Hartshill Sports lost ground after they were held to a draw by the Hare & Hounds. Don't Pick Up the Soap are the danger to the Hearty's title aspirations but they were pushed all the way by Cj's before running out 7 - 5 winners.

Dunn of Newdigate Sports 3 - 2.

On the league front the Division One title battle between Atherstone Cons 'A' and Coton Nomads which had been really fascinating all season ended off the table. The Nomads won 11 - 1 against Atherstone Cons 'B' which meant the Connie 'A' would have to match there score to take the title. But sadly they didn't get chance as through no fault of there own the Plonkers couldn't field a team. Bit of a shit way to lose the league but who knows maybe the Nomads will offer a play off to the Cons and win the title on the table.

Both promoted teams Kingswood Plonkers and the Anker Inn return to Division Two. The Hare & Hounds took the Division Two title beating Coton Old Boys 7 - 5 and fully deserve it having only tasted defeat once this season. The Fox will take runners up spot if they win the final game against the Hearty Goodfellow, if they don't Hartshill Oak could possibly nick it with 2 good wins.

Chuckies Fowlers continue to do their namesake proud with there 12th win this season to stay firmly in 3rd place. 6 points separate the bottom 5 with only Hartshill Oak 'B' winning this week lifting themselves off bottom spot in the process. I can only apologise to the remaining teams in Division Two as another team drops out this time Hartshill Sports have gone. But we play on an The Plonkers took a massive step towards the title with a 10 - 2 victory on their trip to the Kingswood this means they hold a 23 point lead over the Anker who have a game in hand.

I've been asked the question about when the league will be up and running many times since last July and we may now be heading to some sort of normality fingers crossed. Pubs and Clubs will be allowed people inside from tomorrow so pool could return. Apparently Junes 21st is the big lifting of restrictions that will allow us to maybe to play team games again, although I'm a tad sceptical that this will actually happen. Anyways all team captains should have received a message regarding if they will be rejoining the league again. So far 15 teams have confirmed they would like to continue hopefully more will follow. However what happens next depends on how many teams rejoin, if they all do then we will simply pick up from where we left off regarding league and cup but the singles, doubles etc may have to be done on a single Thursday or a weekend so we finish in December to start 2022 afresh. But if only 24 /25 teams rejoin then maybe we will have to restart everything, but I wont be able to make a decision until all captains reply. Anyways I'll stop waffling now and hopefully see you all on the baize soon.

July 22nd

well

Quite a few people have rang or messaged me asking when the pool league will be up and running again. All I can say is sadly not for the foreseeable future. The Lockdown has now been eased and the pubs and clubs are reopening so you can get your cue arms going again and support your local as they look to recover from the impact that Covid 19 has had on them. But even with the easing things are not what they once were and with the restrictions that are currently in place it wouldn't really work. Hopefully a little normality will return soon and we can start to pot a few balls or in some cases miss a few lol. Hope you all stay safe and we can meet for a few frames and a pint soon.

March 16th

All captains have now received a text telling them of our decision to postpone the league until future notice due to the Covid 19 situation. Hope all players understand and hopefully in 3 or 4 weeks we'll be back to some sort of normality.

A reminder to all teams about coaching.

During a frame, a player is required to play without receiving any advice from other persons relating to the playing of the frame. Should a team member or bone-fide supporter of a player offer advice, the referee will issue a "First and Final Warning" to that person that a repetition will result in the player being penalised via a Standard Foul. Because it may not always be possible for the Referee to hear if a statement made to a player is advice, the referee may issue the First and Final Warning on the grounds that any statement made to a player, other than general barracking, is deemed to be coaching.

If the referee is deemed to have coached his own team member the frame will automatically be awarded to the other team.

This is a very difficult thing to police even though apparently it happens on a regular basis. People may think there encouraging there team mate when in fact they are coaching. If I receive regular comments about individuals or teams then we will be contacting them and this could lead to points deductions or bans. Banter is all very well and good but telling people shots to go for is extremely bad sportsmanship.

Important information for teams:

Due to the ongoing down turn in the pub trade and the fact some teams seem to forgot about turning up, we have made the decision to make food an optional choice for teams. You will no longer lose points if you choose not to provide food.

Cup matches ending in a draw will now be decided in a black ball shoot out. Similar to a penalty shoot out in football, 5 players per side chosen by the captain, alternate shots. The blackball is put on the black spot and cue ball can be placed anywhere behind the baulk line. If the score is still level after all 10 shots have been taken, the sides carry on into sudden death until one side pots and the other misses. Any queries just contact me.

Congratulations to the hot potting Jack Schofield who was on cue to beat Paul Willis 4 - 1 to lift his first, of what I'm sure will be many, Nuneaton Pool Singles Titles. The fellow England Internationals produced a top notch final with shot making of the highest standard, but it was sharp shooting Schofield who out potted his rival to take the crown. Jack becomes only the 3rd player in the last 24 seasons to win both singles and doubles in the same season, while Fudge was trying to become the first player to hold the masters and singles titles at the same time. Earlier in the semi finals Jack beat Newdigate cue man Glenn Dunn while Paul beat Rose Snookers Gareth Knights. Then for the first time in the leagues history, Glenn and Gareth played for 3rd and 4th place which Glenn duly won. (If players would like to carry this on in other comps then we can look doing it). Anyways a great night of pool with all 4 players playing their part, thanks to Barry Hinde and Gary Calcott for making it run so smoothly and to Bentley Road for looking after us once again.

Congratulations to the potting postman Paul Willis, who became the first player to retain the Kev Bennett Masters title with a hard fought 4 - 2 over the battling Graham Proctor. Both players produced some quality pool as they shared the first 4 frames, before Fudge upped the tempo to produce a couple of quality finishes to end Groovy's hopes of the title. Both players did extremely well to reach the final this season as it was without doubt the best field yet assembled for the masters. Also well done to both on an excellent final.

Congratulations to James Willis who took the Nuneaton Pool Under 23's title with some exceptional pool last night. The current England Under 23 International was on cue to out pot 3 Hartshill Oak 'A' cue-men on his way to lift the trophy.

In the final he had to produce his best pool of the evening to beat the inform Mitchell Pearce 3 - 1.

Becs McCool was on cue to lift the Nuneaton Pool Ladies trophy for the first time as she beat Tilly Richardson 3 - 2 in an epic final at Bentley Road Sports and Social club. Becs powered into a 2 - 0 and looked well set to be crowned champion but the Kingswood's Richardson had other ideas and promptly levelled the final. The final frame was a very tactical affair where McCool's knowledge of the game shone through to give her the edge enabling her to take the title with a hard fought 3 - 2 victory. Earlier in the evening Becs had a walk over in the Quarter finals while former champion Natasha Astill beat Kingswood Rejects captain Gail Hammersley 3 - 1. Tilly made the semi finals at the expense of out host for the evening Melissa Danks while Abbie Willis played extremely well in her excellent 3 -2 victory over reigning champion Chantelle Green. The semi finals saw the hot potting Willis face the equally talented Richardson with Tilly eventually running out a 3 - 2 winner while McCool took to the table against former champion Natasha Astill, both players produced some sublime pool before Becs ran out a 3 - 1 winner.

Just like to thank Danny Barr for running the event and to Bentley Road Sports and Social Club for there continuing support.

The Salutation 'B' out potted rivals Blue Boar XXX 10 - 2 to secure yet another title, the Boar can still finish 2nd but must beat Hartshill Oak 'A' heavily in their outstanding match or the Oak could pip them. White Lion were confirmed as runners up in Division One after Rose Snooker only won 9 - 3 and join Coton Free Runners in the top flight next season. Bentley Road 'B' were beaten in the final match of the season but took the title. The Chetwynd won at the Kingswood against the Charge to finish in 2nd place with Kingswood Rejects and Atherstone Cons finishing 3rd and 4th respectively in their first seasons.

Well done to White Lion cue man Karl Knight on taking the Division One rankings and to Atherstone Cons cueist Chris Challen on potting his way to the Division Two ranking title.

Coton Free Runners were on cue to beat FBA 10 - 2 and take the Division One title to make a quick return to the Premier League. White Lion also won 10 - 2 and are currently in 2nd place which only Rose Snooker can take off them but they face a tough task needing two 12 - 0's to achieve this. Bentley Road 'B' just need 3 frames to take the Division 2 crown while 4 sides are in the race for 2nd place. Kingswood Rejects occupy it at the moment and have to hope all the other teams lose to hold on to it. Chetwynd look favourites to take it if they pot their was pasted the Kingswood Charge they will be playing Division One pool next season. But if they stumble Atherstone Cons could gain promotion in there first season or maybe the Green Bear could sneak it but they face Bentley 'B' who will be all out to take the 3 frame they need. Great finish to an excellent season in this Division credit to all the teams that so many are still in with a chance. The Premier League looks to be staying at Chapel End as the Salutation 'B' beat Bentley Road 'A' 7 - 5 but both Blue Boar XXX and Hartshill Oak 'A' won so the title is still up for grabs. The Sally hold the cards and victory in their last game against the Boar should be enough as it would see the Boar out of it and mean Hartshill would need to win 34 of the 36 frames they have left.

Teams are reminded that its registration night next Thursday at the Rose Inn between 7-30 and 8-30. Teams can arrange to pay before if they contact me. Thanks hope to see you there.

Only a few matches to go the with the Sally, Boar XXX and Hartshill Oak 'A' all fighting for honours. The Midland Railway and Sally 'A' look likely to be relegated. The White Lion returned to the top of Division One after beating Foxx Inn 8 - 4. The Free Runners didn't play and slip to 2nd but only 10 points adrift of the Lion so need an 8 - to retake the lead. Rose Snooker beat FBA to stay 3rd 6 points adrift of Coton. The top 2 in Division Two shared the points with Bentley Road 'B' looking well set to be crowned champions. 2ns place is still up for grabs with Kingswood Rejects currently occupying it but The Chetwynd, Atherstone Cons and Green Bear Growlers all remain in contention.

In the last 16 Dicko beat Slater while Steve produced a nice finish to see off Raz Gadsby and Kyle Brandon handled Chicken Randle for the 2nd event on the trot. In Round D Paul survived a scare against Loz Henney as Loz under hit the black for the win, Steve Tedds beat Alex Pyatt, Jack Schofield ended Ian Fowler's excellent run and Paul Willis handled Kyle Brandon. In the semi final finals Dicks produce the pot of the night on the black to edge the young hot shot Jack Schofield while Steve and Paul produced the first ever Shoot Out re-rack which Steve edged to make the final. The final was a tactical affair which seemed to be going Steve's way until Dicko produced a great finish to take the spoils.

Such sad sad news about the passing of Andy 'Yakker' Yearby. I'd like to thank to all the teams for holding a minutes silence at their games last night to pay tribute a top guy. What can you say about this gem of a man, always first to shake your hand and ask how your were, he didn't have a bad bone in his body, a proper genuine character (Not many left now). There won't be many players in the town that haven't been Yakkered at some point in a match. Not only was he a very good player but without doubt the jammiest player ever to grace the tables of Nuneaton and quite possibly the world. He showed it wasn't just luck by wining the Singles as well as the divisional averages on a couple of occasions. The laughs we had on the Yarmouth trips will never be forgotten especially the encounter with the Stockingford sausage. I had the privilege to play in several teams with Yak and call him my friend. Top man top potter gone far far too soon. Our thoughts are with Sarah and their families at this extremely sad time.

Craig Barnett got the oak off to a flyer before Karl Haines levelled for the Hearty. James Thomason then produced a cracking reverse dish before captain Greig Schofield made it 3 - 1. Things were starting to get a little tense which is understandable with some players playing in their first final. Andy Smith held his nerve in the nest frame to produce a nice clearance before Jack Schofield put the Oak firmly in the driving seat at 5 - 1. The Hearty's Jack Slater stopped the rot but any thoughts of a comeback were quickly dashed as Jack Schofield returned to the table with an excellent break dish to put the Oak on the hill. Sam Baginskis took the next frame to cut the arrears but Oak captain Greig Schofield out potted Jack Slater in the next to give the Oak the Trophy. Great final played in an excellent spirit with both teams a credit to the League. Thanks to all at Bentley Road for staging the final.

Alas for the Attleboro' boys the Boar took the next 5 frames with Ben Potts and Steve Tedds winning two apiece and one from Ryan Dolman.

Well done to Newdigate cue-man Glenn Dunn who was the last man standing in the We're not in the cup anymore 1 frame shoot out at Bentley Road on Thursday night. 32 cueists broke off hoping to pot their way to the £80 first prize which culminated with Dunn beating Foxbromwich Albion's Joe Cooper (£36) in the final. All the favourites made in through Round A which meant there were bound to be some cracking matches in Round B. We said goodbye to 2 time shoot out winner James Willis beaten by Alan Lockton, Andrew Yearby, Gareth Knights and Sean Gibbs were amongst others that never made Round C. The last 8 saw Dunn produce a top class finish to beat Connor Glen while Cooper was equally as impressive seeing of the Kingswood's Dane Faulconbridge. Dominoes saw the exit of shoot out favourite Paul Willis and Jimmy Glen beat Lockton. In the semi finals Cooper ended the great run of Rose Snooker's Glen while Dunn showed another side to his game as he beat George Golby in a tactical battle. Both Dunn and Cooper produced some excellent pool in the final with Dunn just having the edge to win the day. The Plate comp saw Rose Snooker's Gareth Knights pot the £40 beating an unlucky Kingswood Reject Dane Faulconbridge (£20) in the final. Apparently after the match Dane wished Gareth the best of luck in the semis not realising he'd just played the final. Thanks to all the players that made it a really enjoyable night to Danny Barr for his help plus Ollie Barlow and everyone at Bentley for making us welcome once again.

Well done to Alex Pyatt who was on cue to lift the 3rd Nuneaton Pool One Frame Shoot-Out at Bentley Road on Thursday, the Newdigate cue man cleared from Jack Schofield's dry break in the final to take the £150 first prize. Another fantastic turn out saw 73 players break off in search of the top prize and as normal big names started to tumble from the off as Andy Smith knocked knocked out local pool legend Paul Willis in the preliminary round where we also said goodbye to Russ Newman and former Masters Champion Baz Hinde. The Round of 64 was no different as we lost last events runner up Steve Cooper to Andy Smith who kept up his good run going, The Great Chicken Randle, Danny Evans, Ben Potts, Greig Schofield and for the 3rd event in a row Kristi Caulfield didn't make it passed the 1st round, mind he did lose to event runner up Jack Schofield. In the round of 32 Alex ended Grant Darby's hopes while Jack beat Jimmy Glenn, Andy Smith continued his run as did 2 time winner James Willis, but we lost Glen Dunn, Anthony Tedds and Andy Edgington amongst others. The round of 16 saw Alex beat the Sally's Keith March while Jack beat dark horse Paul Dicks. Andy Smith's good run finally came to an end at the hands of Sam Baginskis, the Evans brothers of Matt and Mark's quest also ended meanwhile Army Singh and Paul Pickersgil continued to roll back the years as they made the quarter finals, where Andy Yearby and Ross Krupa joined them. In the Round of 8 Alex ended Army's great run while Picky beat Krupa, Sam Baginskis made his 2nd semi final on the trot at the expense of Yearby while all eyes turned to the clash of the round as current England Internationals Schofield and Willis faced off on the baize alas for 2 times winner Willis this would be as far as he would go this time as Jack held his nerve to see off his friend to make the last 4. The semi finals saw Alex end Pickys fine run while Jack beat Baginskis, both players received £25 for their exploits. The final saw Jack win the lag and decide to break but sadly for him after such a great night it was dry, Alex stepped up to keep his cool (which was no mean feat as the heat was unbelievable) to clear the table and take the £150 top prize, a disappointed Schofield who had played some great pool during the night won himself £50 as runner up, still not a bad return for £3 entry. Just like to say a massive thank you to Colin Richards for running this one while I handed fixtures out, plus Danny Barr and Barry Hinde for helping out. In the bar the speed pool was creating a lot of interest with The Great entertaining as only he can. Greig Schofield was running this and his idea of a two tier competition was a excellent one, he loosely based it on where players play or would in the Singles League. Tier 1 was won by Kristi Caulfield in 54 secs with quite a few players getting really close only to trip up on their last couple of balls including Greig himself. Tier 2 saw the Kingswood's Dane Faulconbridge lead with 1.36 right up to the end before being pipped by Ollie Barlow who cleared in 1.21. Another fantastic evening of pool made possible by all the players playing in the spirit it should be played big thanks to Melissa and Ollie and all the bar staff at Bentley Road until the next one a massive shout out to all the players that played last night.

Well done to Greig Schofield on potting his was to a first Nuneaton Singles Title with a 4 - 1 victory over Andy Yearby in the Final. Yak had no answer to the clinical potting display that Greig produced in the final which saw the Hartshill cueman home. Earlier in the semi finals Greig beat the Blue Lion's John Grimes 3 - 0 but the score line doesn't reflect how close this match really was as both players played some exceptional pool. In the other semi Andy Yearby beat Mick Taylor of Bentley Road 3 - 1 in another really close match that could of gone either way.

Paul Willis was on cue to take the Kev Bennett Masters title last night beating close friend Rich Mills 4 - 3 in a classic final full of quality pool. Both players rolled back the years to produce an absolutely fantastic match that had everything from tactical play, fudging and clearances as both players really wanted to take their first Maters title. But try as he might Mills just couldn't edge in front of Willis during the final which eventually cost him. Thanks to Colin Richards for officiating and to Coton Sports for hosting us.

Midland Railway confirmed themselves champions of Division One with a comfortable 10 - 2 victory over the Bentley Road Exiles. A great double winning season for the Whittleford Roaders who will play top flight pool next season for the first time. That daunting prospect seems to be affecting the chasing pack as they all seem to be stumbling the White Lion lost again and slip to 4th place, Blue Lion drew with Hartshill Oak but move up to 2nd place. The Fox lost Thursday and Friday and now look out of contention, while all this was happening the Salutation 'A' were thumping the Plonkers 12 - 0 a result which sees them go 3rd just a point behind the Lion. Who will join the Mid is anyone's guess, although 3 teams could yet be promoted due the amount of teams showing an interest in joining next season. The Division Two title will be decided in the final week after Bentley Road held the Stag & Pheasant and FBA beat the Kingswood 9 - 3. The Hartshill boys hold a 2 point advantage going into the final match which sees both teams at home with tricky games. Salutation 'B' looked to have reclaimed the Premier League title with a 9 - 3 victory over Rose Sports who could now be relegated for the first time ever. Mathematically they need 3 frames to be certain as Newdigate Sports can overhaul them if the win both games big and Sally are spanked by Fife Street. Blue Lion 'A' and Bentley Road 'A' slipped to defeats to see their challenge disappear.

Yet another twist in the Premier League title run in as the Salutation 'A' were beating Coton Free Runners the Blue Lion 'A' were slipping to defeat at the hands of Fife Street. It now means the Sally lead the Lion by 11 points with only 2 games to go. The relegation battle is also heating up, Fife Street's win should see them safe while the Free Runners, Hartshill Oak 'A' and both Rose teams are all still in with a chance of Divsion One pool next season. Midland Railway seem certain to be playing top flight pool next season mathematically they need 5 points from 2 matches if the Blue Lion win both matches 12 - 0. White Lion slipped to another defeat which brings Blue Lion 'B' and the Fox Inn into the picture regards the last promotion place. At the bottom of the Division Bentley Road Exiles and Prince Plonkers look the likeliest to face the drop. Stag & Pheasant lead Division Two by 7 points from Foxbromwich Albion with 2 to play. Once again its a tough call but its hard to see pasted a Stag triumph.

James Wills was on cue to lift the Bentley Road Bash last night beating Steve Cooper in the final. 78 players broke off all hoping to pot there way to the £150 first prize. There were a few big casualties in Round A as we said goodbye to Kristi Caulfield again at the first hurdle although he was broke dished by team mate Glenn Dunn who picked up £10 for the first BD, Jack Underhill, Dave Mallabone and Andy Edgington also exited in Round A. Round B saw James break dish Rich Mills while in inform Glenn Dunn also BD for the second consecutive match. Steve Cooper beat Kyran Lucas while Michael Travis who was runner up at the last event also eased through. In Round C Stephen McCauley had a great chance to knock out James but ran out of position allowing James back to the table to clear.

But we lost Andy Yearby, Colin Richards, Greig Schofield and Trav. Round D pitted father against son as Paul took on James with the younger man edging through, Cooper beat Jonathan Cullen while we said farewell to John Grimes, Jamie Scott and Glenn Dunn. The 8 players who'd made it into Round E were now all in the money with James seeing off Ryan Balding Coops out potting Matt Evans. In the semi finals both James and Steve won comfortably against Sam Baginskis and Ryan Dolman respectively with both losing players taking home £25. The final saw the first real chance fall to Steve Cooper but whether it was pressure, nerves or something completely different he missed a pot he'd normally sink and let James in. He didn't need a second invitation as he cleared nicely to take the £150 top prize. Just like to thank Melissa and Ollie, all the bar staff at Bentley Road plus a big thank you to Colin Richards and Baz Hinde for ensuring the tournament ran smoothly and finally a massive shout out to all the players that played last night.

Karim Sachedina and Ajay Sharma then put the Crystal 4 - 2 up before Bentley amazingly went 5 - 4 up through Dalton Hamilton, Ormerod and Orr.

The Fox Inn finally took the Division Two title with a hard fought 7 - 5 victory over Hartshill Oak 'B'. It's been the closest run division I can remember for a long time with 5 sides all with a chance of the top 2 spots with one game to play. The Oak stumbled to the runners up spot after starting the week looking to take the title they were also been beaten 8 - 4 by neighbours Stag & Pheasant earlier in the week a result that saw the Stag go 4th just one point behind the Oak. Newcomers Anker are 3rd on frame difference and have done extremely well in there first season playing world rules and could be the team to beat next season.

The Kev Bennett Masters final will see Neil Randle take on Surinder Singh, Chick made the final by beating Glenn Bates 3 - 1 in the quarter final and easing pasted Alun Jones 3 - 0 in the semi finals helped along the way by Jones who snookered himself twice on the black. Surinder Singh gained revenge on Ian Fowler who Knocked him out of last season's competition at the same stage and then beat holder Sean Gibbs 3 - 0 in the semis.

The The inaugural Under 23's broke off with 20 young hotshots hoping to pot there way to the title and the £50 first prize.

Fife Street Club secured top flight pool for next season when beating Coton Sports 7 - 5 the result also means Coton need just 2 frames from there last 2 games against the White Lion to also stay up.

Things are becoming very interesting in Division Two as the inform Anker Inn beat Hartshill Oak 7 - 5 while the Fox Inn produced there version of the great escape by winning the last 2 frames to nick a draw off a pumped up Green Bear Growlers. The Lamb & Flag finished off what little hopes Fox Bromwich Albion had of taking the title beating them 7 - 5. When the dust settles we see the Anker in front but the Fox are only 6 points adrift with 2 games to left to play, the Oak are a further 2 points back and also with 2 games left, the pair have yet to meet in what should be a title decider, some great pool by all 4 sides. Fife Street Flyers beat Coton Sports 9 - 3 and now only need to draw their final game with the Salutation 'B' to secure the title. Blue Lion 'A' produced an excellent display to beat Newdigate 8 - 4 as they look to take the runners up spot once again while the Sally lost ground after being held to a draw by Fife Street. In Division One there were wins for Coton Free Runners, Midland Railway, Blue Lion 'B' and Bentley Road 'B'.

Fife Street Flyers will have to wait until the final game of the season to see if they can become only the second side in recent times to win the Premier League after being crown Division One champions the season before. They tasted defeat for only the 2nd time this season as a fired up Newdigate beat them 7 - 5. Blue Lion 'A' closed the gap to 8 points when beating Fife Street 7 - 5 but will need the Flyers wings to drop off if they are to secure back to back titles. Salutation 'B' smashed the now relegated Blue Boar 11 - 1 and will also be hoping for a wings malfunction. Elsewhere Bentley Road 'A' beat Coton Sports and the Rose Inn drew with the White Lion a result that should see the Rose remain in the top flight well done the Rose!! Coton Free Runners were bang on cue to beat Bentley Road 'B' 12 - 0 and secure runners up spot and promotion plus relegate Bentley and the same time. Special mention for Royal Oak Stockingford who have struggled all season for a side but soldiered on regardless and secured Division One pool next season with a 7 - 5 victory against the Salutation 'B'. Incidentally they only lost 2 matches when they managed to field a full side maybe it could have been a different outcome who knows. Yet more twists in Division Two as long time leaders Fox suffered their first defeat of the season at the hands of the Anker who now lead the way. Hartshill Oak 'B' beat neighbours Hartshill Sports 8 - 4 to move into 2nd place as the Fox slip to 3rd, these two still have to play in what could be a title decider though. Foxbromwich Albion are still in contention for promotion after beating Hare & Hounds 9 - 3, while the Stag also still have hopes, and with all four sides still to play another who knows where it will end up going, either way its been a cracking season in this division.

Congratulations to Natasha Astill on potting her way to the Nuneaton Ladies title the Rose Inn cueist was in excellent form throughout the night and fully deserved the crown. Only 3 of the semi finalists were able to turn up so they played a round robin to determine where the trophy would go. First up tournament favourite Vicky Moore took on Sharon Worthington in a very tactical battle which favoured Vicky and she ran out a 3 - 0 winner. Next up Shaz took on Tash in a more open affair with both players attacking from the break off. All frames were really close but Tash's potting at key times saw her through to the final with a 3 - 1 win. The final saw both Vicky and Tash produce some excellent pool, Tash took the opening frame after Vicky had rattled the black but Vicky quickly levelled before another jawed black from her allowed Tash to edge in front at 2 - 1. The next frame saw Tash produce the shot of the night to take the title with a cracking double on the black for a 3 - 1 victory. Thanks to Coton Sports for hosting plus Danny Barr and Rod Brown for officiating.

On the league front Blue Lion 'A' beat Bentley Road 'A' 7 - 5 to cut the Flyers lead at the top of the Premier League to 13 points with just 3 games to play.

Hartshill Oak 'A' were crowned Division One champions following their 10 - Nick Simpson victory at the Midland Railway, the Oak have dominated through out the season and make a quick return to the Premier League following their shock relegation last year. Coton Free Runners also look on course to jump straight back into the top flight following their 7 - 5 victory over 3rd placed Blue Lion 'B'. At the other end of the table only 13 points separate the bottom 5 teams so it's anyone's guess who'll be in Division Two next season. Fox Inn returned to action this week beating Kingswood Charge 9 - 3 and look well set for promotion. Second placed Anker have done exceptionally well in their first season playing world rules and were on cue again this week with a 10 - 2 victory over Green Bear who have also performed admirably in their first season. Hartshill Oak 'B' are the danger to the front 2 and with games in hand look on course to earn promotion for the first time. The form book was well and truly ripped up in the Premier league this week as the Rose Inn stunned 3rd place Bentley Road, the Coton Roaders winning 7 - 5 and 2nd placed Blue Lion 'A' being held to a draw by lowly Coton Sports. All this was great news for Fife Street Flyers won won 10 - 2 and extended their lead at the top to 23 points. It was also good news for the Salutation 'B' who beat Newdigate 7 - 5 to bring themselves back into contention.

Bentley Road 'A' were on cue to end the unbeaten run of Fife Street Flyers who run had lasted some 31 league games. The 9 - 3 win lifts Bentley into 3rd place with a chance of the runners up spot but despite the defeat Flyers still hold a 17 point lead over their rivals and remain favourites to lift the Premier title, but pool being pool there could yet be another twist. Blue Lion 'A' beat White Lion 8 - 4 to remain in 2nd while there were also wins for Rose Inn and Salutation 'B'. Hartshill Oak 'A' continued their relentless march back into the Premier league with a 10 - 2 victory over the Crystal Palace, the Oak now only need 4 points from there last 3 games to secure promotion. Coton Free Runners who came down with the Oak last season now look the most likely to join them back in the top flight after they beat the Salutation 8 - 4, Blue Lion 'B' also won 8 - 4 to remain level on points but the Free Runners have a game in hand over the Witherley boys but the pair meet next week so you never know. The Anker potted their way into 2nd place in Division Two beating the improving Kingswood Charge 7 - 5. Hartshill Oak 'B' move quietly into 3rd place as FBA slip to 4th. It's going to be an interest few weeks in this Division, the top 3 all have to play each other and FBA could benefit from a slightly easier run in, who knows but either way its been an excellent season in this Division.

The Fox Inn maintain their push for Division Two crown with an 8 - 4 victory over Hartshill Sports. Anker Inn dented Fox Bromwich Albion's title aspirations beating them 8 - 4. The main threat to the Fox's title hopes will now come from Hartshill Oak 'B' who have a game in hand and beat Lamb & Flag 7 - 5 this week. Kingswood Charge and Stag & Pheasant were also in the winners enclosure.

The Blue Lion 'A' finally won the Phil Sayer Memorial Trophy in a thrilling final against the Salutation 'B'. The Witherley cuemen got of to a flying start with a doubled black from Russ Newman before Mash Comley doubled their advantage beating the highly rated Steve Sears. The Sally finally got on the scoreboard through Rich Mills before a cracking 8 ball from Ben Gilbey levelled the match. John Grimes then edged the Lion back in front until Sally Captain Carl Franklin produced another doubled black to square the final once more. Mark Gaynor found himself in trouble snookered on the black in frame seven but an outrageous fluke much to the bemusement of Chick Randle put the Lion back in front. Lion captain Danny Evans and Newman took the next two frames to put them on the hill at 6 - 3, but the Sally weren't beaten yet as back to the table came Mills to pot his way to a second victory of the night before Gilbey produced a top draw clearance to reduce the arrears to just one frame. The captains faced each other in what turned out to be the final frame of the evening, sadly Franklin went in off on the break and had to watch Evans clear to take the final, a cruel way to lose such an epic match but that as they say is pool. Thanks to Karl and Fife Street for hosting.

The Rose Inn retained the Doug Postin Memorial Shield with a 7 - 2 victory over the Coton Free Runners. The Final was much closer than the score line suggests with the Free Runners just falling at the final hurdle in several frames. The Rose raced into a 3 - 0 through Steve Cooper, George Golby and Danny Barr but Coton hit back with Andy Yearby and Karl Hinchen in the potting zone. Rose captain Rod Brown and Alun Jones restored the 3 frame cushion as loose shots from the Coton boys started to take there toll. Yearby missed a golden opportunity in the next frame for the Henry Street cuemen allowing Cooper to put the Rose within one leg from victory. The Coton Roaders didn't have to wait long as Golby finished a tricky clearance to get the all important 7th frame on the board. Thanks to Ollie and Bentley Road for hosting the final.

The Fox Inn took the Treasurers Trophy in a thrilling 7 - 6 victory over Hartshill Oak 'B'. It was heart break for the Oak as for the second year running they lost the final in a play off. Ryan Balding the Fox Inn hero out potting the unlucky Ben Marston in a tense deciding frame. Earlier in the night the teams shared the first 4 frames of the final before Sam Laight and Colin Morewood put the Oak 4 - 2 up. The Fox battled back to restore the status quo with Jamie's Tebbet and Low dazzling on the baize. Laight and Marston returned to the table to secure their second wins of the night to put the Oak on the the verge of victory at 6 - 4. The Fox responded once again levelling the match with Simon Snounou and the hot potting Balding taking the final two frames. A cracking night of pool with plenty of rest banter!!! Thanks to Coton sports for hosting the final.

Phil Sayer Memorial Trophy holders Salutation 'B' eased pasted there 'A' team and into the last 8 with a 7 - 3 victory while last year runners up Fife Street Flyers were ground by a very strong Newdigate Sports outfit, it'll be interesting to see if they field that team in the league next season as there'll be contenders without a doubt. Hartshill Oak 'A' looked to be cruising into the quarter finals leading 6 - 1 before Bentley Road 'A' produced a fabulous fight back to level the tie only to see Hartshill captain James Thomason clear to take the play off.

Phil Sayer Memorial Trophy holders Salutation 'B' had a scare in the first round of this years tournament as the Midland Railway took the opening 2 frames and maybe should have took the third one but for a bit of bad luck sadly for the Mid it became the turning point of the match and the Sally ran out 7 - 3 winners. Last season's runner up Fife Street Flyers were well and truly grounded by Hartshill Oak 'B' as the Division Two side looked to cause the biggest upset since their own A team were knocked out by Kingswood Charge. After sharing the the first 6 frames the Oak edged 5 - 3 in front only for the Flyers to take the next 3 frames but the Oak's Ben Marston withstood the pressure to take the final frame and the tie into a play off. The decider was nip and tuck affair which was finally taken by Surinder Singh against the unlucky Ian Duggan. The two all Premier League ties were won by Blue Lion 'A' and Bentley Road 'A' while the three new sides all bound out and moved into the Doug Postin Memorial Shield.

The Blue Lion 'A' produced a great team performance in their quest to retain the Premier league title beating Salutation 'A' 7 - 5 but despite this great result their going to have to put in an incredible display in their final game as they need to beat White Lion 12 - 0. Sadly for the Lion the Blue one I can't really see this happening with the quality in the other Lion team. Another great season in the top division but next season should be even better with the arrival of the Rose 'A' team oh plus Fife Street Flyers and Newdigate Sports.

Fife Street Flyers set a new points total becoming the first team to break the 200 point barrier beating the Coton Libs 199 pts total from 2013 Summer League. They finished off the season with a 9 - 3 victory over the Royal Oak Exiles their 18th straight victory to become one of only a handful of sides to win every match in a season. Well Done the Flyers!!!

The Division Two title was finally decided after a fantastic battle between Prince Plonkers, Coniston Tavern and the Crystal Palace. The Palace had slipped away with only 3 games to go leaving the Prince and Coniston to have a battle royal in the last 3 matches both sharing the top spot during this time. Going into the last game the Prince had a 3 point lead with both teams strangely away to Hartshill opposition and the nerves didn't materialise in either teams as both powered to convincing victories with the Prince Plonkers wining 8 - 4 to complete a league and cup double for the first time in their history. The Coniston had to settle for a league and cup runners up double in a fine season for the St Nick boys.

The premier league title will be settled next week when the Salutation 'B' meet the Blue Lion 'A' at the Sally. After another great battle between these two sides the Sally only need a draw to reclaimed the title from their rivals.

Fife Street Flyers clinched the Division One title last night with their 17th straight win of the campaign. Newdigate Sports 'A' finished runners up and will join them in the Premier league next season as will the Rose Inn 'A' if we get a full 30 teams next season. The Premier League decider between the Sally 'A' & Blue Lion 'A' was postponed due to Yarmouth and will be played on the Masters night. While in Division Two there were yet more twists as the Coniston were struggling against Hartshill Oak 'B' the Plonkers were really up against it trailing 4 - 0 to the Lamb & Flag, but as the Conny snatched a draw thanks to a last frame victory by Ross Krupa the Prince were performing there version of the great escape with captain Gaz Bailey and Adam Goadby potting their way to the last two frames to secure a very unlikely draw. All this means the Plonkers remain 3 points ahead of the Coniston with 1 match to play.

March 25th

well

Another twist in the race for the Division Two title as long time leaders Coniston Tavern go down 7 - 5 to the Lamb & Flag while the Prince Plonkers were enjoying an 11 - 1 victory on their trip to the Hare & Hounds. All this sees the Plonkers go 3 points clear with two to play. Long time challengers Crystal Palace's form seems to have deserted them as another defeat sees theirs hopes all but disappear, still I'm sure there be another surprise before the final ball is potted. The only way Fife Street Flyers will not take the Division One title is if all there players arms fall off, mind they'd still probably win it!! This week they potted their way to a 16th victory with a 8- 4 win over the Midland Railway, Newdigate Sports just edged Stag & Pheasant 7 - 5 while the Rose Inn 'A' won 8 - 4. The Blue Lion kept there hopes of retaining the Premier league title alive with a comfortable 9 - 3 victory over Coton Snooker and now sit 7points behind the leaders Salutation 'B'.

The top two sides in Division Two met in a cracking match which saw the Coniston Tavern comeback from 3 - 1 and 5 - 4 down to win 7 - 5 over the unlucky Prince Plonkers. The victory puts the Coniston in with a great chance of the title especially with the third and fourth placed sides drawing with each other. The Lamb & Flag winning the last 2 frames to stop the Crystal Palace from taking the match. But with teams still to play one another its still any one from the top four who could take this division. Salutation 'B' edged four more points clear of the Blue Lion 'A' in the race for the Premier League, while they were smashing Coton Snooker 11 - 1 the Lion were struggling past a defiant Hartshill Oak 'A' 7 -5.

Newdigate Sports 'A' all but sewn up second place beating the Royal Oak Exiles 8 - 4 while Blue Lion 'B' gained a little revenge on the Rose coming back from 4 - 0 down to win 7 - 5. The top two in Division Two Coniston Tavern and Prince Plonkers both had fine 8 - 4 victories this week to maintain the status quo, the Palace slip 8 points behind thanks to the Prince defeat. But with four games to go its still anyone from three.

Four teams with five games to go and only six points separating them, whose your money on for Division Two. Coniston retain pole position after drawing with Crystal Palace who slip to third but only 2 points behind. Prince Plonkers moved into 2nd spot a point behind the Conny with the Lamb & Flag in 4th place. The run in may favour the Palace but with all the teams meeting at some point it's hard to call. Meanwhile in Division Two Fife Street Flyers would have to have the melt down of the century not to take the title, they potted their way to a 13th straight victory at the Stag and lead the way by 21 points. Newdigate 'A' beat the the Mid 10 - 2 but still lost ground on the leaders. The Salutation 'B' extended their lead in Division One with a empathetic 11 - Chicken win at the Blue Boar while the Blue Lion boys had a good 8 - 4 result at the Hearty but now trial by 19 points and will need a huge result in their game in hand with the White Lion if they're to retain the title.

Rose Inn 'A' beat Royal Oak Exiles 9 - 3 to keep their slim chances of promotion alive and the Salutation 'A' won 7 - 5. Division Two seems the hardest to call long time leaders Barcode failed to turn up at the Harun and could be withdrew if they fail to turn up to another away game. Crystal Palace slip from top to third after being held to a draw by Fox Inn. The Coniston took advantage to go 1 point clear of the Prince Plonkers who sit second.

July 24th

Bentley Road all but sealed the Division One title after their 8 - 4 victory over the Salutation 'A'. The runners up spot is a four horse race between Coton Free Runners, Midland Railway, Fife Street and the Co-op Sports. If I was a betting man I'd go for the Free Runners. Division Two seemed a forgone conclusion a few weeks ago but the Blue Lion 'B' have gone off the boil slightly and the Stag & Pheasant have closed to within a point but both teams have hard run ins which could see Barcode emerge from the pack and nick the title. The Premier title appears to be between the unbeaten Blue Lion 'A' and the resurgent Blue Boar 'B', and with them due to meet next month it could well be a title eliminator.

Stag & Pheasant produced the performance of the week beating run away division two leaders Blue Lion 'B' 7 - 5. The win sees them cut the lead down to 10 points plus eke out another few points on the teams directly below them Coniston & Barcode who drew this week. Bentley Road continued their winning streak in division one with a 7 - 5 victory on their trip to Midland Railway. Coton Free Runners found some form this week beating the Sally 'A' 8 - 4 as did Fife Street who beat Lamb & Flag 9 - 3. Things are starting to look interesting in the Premier League with leaders Blue Lion 'A' beating Attleboro' Snooker 8 - 4 to remain unbeaten while the Blue Boar 'B' nicked another point back as they smashed Royal Oak 'B' 9 -3 and move into second spot. Now the Miners Spartans have dropped out of the league it may take some time to see where the title could be heading as there are 2 byes each week.
