After a long and hard-fought battle through both brackets, Josh Thornton emerged as champion, taking home the well-deserved £110 first prize! He secured the title after an intense, edge-of-your-seat final match, winning the deciding frame against Liam Conroy, who put up a brilliant fight and took home £60 as the runner-up.

With just two months left of the current Clacton Snooker Singles League season, the race for the highest break trophies is seriously heating up. The awards are still technically up for grabs, but these two players already have one hand on the silverware with some fantastic scoring.

In Division 1, George Louca is leading the way after knocking in a very respectable break of 46, while over in the Premier Division, Keith Percival is sitting pretty with a superb break of 61.

Brilliant playing from both of them. Can anyone catch them before the season wraps up, or are these scores taking home the trophies? Let us know your thoughts below.

It was a cracker of an evening at Clacton Sports Bar yesterday for our Sunday Night Pool Competition!

The "Race to 5" format delivered drama from the very first break. In the quarter-finals, Mandy Youell won a hill-hill thriller against Julie Farrell, while Tom Chivers, Carl Dayment, and Ben Williamson all booked their spots with strong 5-2 wins.

The semi-finals kept everyone on the edge of their seats. Tom Chivers put an end to Mandy’s brilliant run with a 5-3 victory, and Ben Williamson just edged past Carl Dayment 5-4 in an epic battle.

The final between Tom and Ben lived up to the hype, going all the way to a nail-biting final frame decider. Huge congratulations to Ben Williamson, who kept his composure to win 5-4 and claim the tournament victory! Hard luck to Tom, who played brilliantly all night.

The Clacton Sports Bar hosted a thrilling Double Eliminator Pool Competition last night, featuring a competitive field of 34 players. The event kicked off at 6:00 PM and saw five hours of intense action across the tables before reaching its final conclusion. Danny Walker ultimately claimed the title of champion, navigating a challenging field to secure a narrow 3-2 victory against Stuart Byford in the final.

The tournament provided plenty of drama as players fought through both the winners' and losers' brackets. David Finch and Mark Walker both reached the semi-finals after strong showings in the quarter-final round, where they faced off against George Louca and Joe Bishop respectively. Stuart Byford’s path to the final was marked by a decisive 3-0 semi-final win over Mark Walker, while Danny Walker earned his spot in the final by defeating David Finch 3-0.

Other players who made significant runs into the quarter-finals included Liam Inwood and Josh Thornton, contributing to the high level of play throughout the evening.

Last night at Clacton Sports Bar, the baize was busy for our latest Cross Pairs competition, a unique doubles format where teammates are drawn at random. The evening delivered high-quality pool and plenty of drama as the field was whittled down to the semis.

The semifinals set a high bar for the evening, starting with Tom Chivers and Courtney Simmons securing their place in the final after a 4-2 victory over Danny Walker and Dean Craig. On the other side of the draw, Luke Looker and Simon Eccles matched that 4-2 scoreline in their win against Scott Elsdon and Callum Myhill to set up a heavyweight title clash.

The final lived up to every bit of the hype, evolving into a back-and-forth battle that pushed both teams to their limits until it all came down to a tense deciding frame. In the end, Tom Chivers and Courtney Simmons held their nerve to clear the table, clinching the win and the title over Looker and Eccles.

Next Sunday sees the return of the Double Eliminator makes at 6pm. Entry is £10, so make sure you're there early to get your name in the hat.

Round 3 of the Clacton Singles League Cup is now underway!
This is officially the largest single elimination pool tournament ever held in Clacton, with nearly 200 league players taking part!

We’ll see a new champion crowned this year, as neither reigning champion Marty Cheasley nor last year’s runner‑up Adam Sharman are involved.
All major contenders remain in the competition (even with their massive handicaps) and the standard has been exceptional.

The knockout cup for The Clacton Singles League 2025 season

We had 24 players in for the Cross Pairs Pool Competition this week, forming 12 random teams made up of an ‘A’ player and a ‘B’ player. As always, it made for some cracking match ups and a few unexpected partnerships that actually worked a lot better than expected.

On one side of the draw, George Louca & Julie Farrell were on a mission. They battled their way past: Mark Toland & Owen Fitzsimons, Dan Rooke & Matt McCarthy and Allan Matthews & Joe Baker.

Over on the other side, Mark Walker & Riley Godfrey were doing the business too, taking out Simon Eccles & Callum Myhill and James Hazelton & Glen Pickard.

That gave us a final between George & Julie vs Mark & Riley, and to be fair, George and Julie had looked solid all night. They carried that form straight into the final and took it 4–1, securing the win in style. Great performance from both of them.

Wishing everyone a very Happy Easter! Just a reminder…there’s no weekly comp on Easter Sunday, so enjoy your long weekend, eat too much chocolate, and we’ll be back the following week with the popular Double Eliminator.

It was another great Sunday night at Clacton Sports Bar with 33 players battling it out for a tasty £330 prize pot. Plenty of quality pool on show and plenty of drama.

After about three and a half hours of play, we were down to our last four:

Simon Smith gave Allan Matthews a proper send off with a tidy 3–0, and on the other side Charlie Dunn made light work of George Louca, dropping just one frame for a 3–1 win.

So the final was set: Charlie Dunn vs Simon Smith.

Charlie stepped up a gear in the final, spurred on by his personal cheerleader troupe, and put in a cracking performance to take it 3–0. That earned him the £130 top prize.
Simon collected £80 for runner up, and both semi finalists pocketed £40.
