Ormskirk and District Pool League has just completed its third season and we have new champions, The Prince William in Dalton, while a nail biting finish to the season saw Bar 22 overtake The Bridge to claim second place and get their players a trophy each.

Players from the Prince William also dominated the league player of the year award with Ian Sheppard leading the way with 10 wins in the 11 matches - the Prince William's Steve Murphy and Dave Usher came in joint second with 10 wins from 12 games. The league also congratulated Karl Prescott, who won all eight games played, but had not met the conditions, 66% games played, for the player of the year.

The pairs title was won by the Queen Inn’s Adam Pearce and Steve Slater after a long fought out battle with Bar 22’s Mike and Steve Denning.

The inaugural league cup final takes place at The Farmers Club on Wednesday 3rd May when The Bridge and The Prince William will do battle; a buffet will be provided and all are welcome to attend.

On 10th May it's the semi-finals of the pairs; an all Farmers Club clash sees Karl Prescott take on Craig Caunce at the 22 Club. The other semi final sees player of the year Ian Sheppard take on Matthew Rimmer at The Queen Inn - why not go and watch? The final will follow the week after, with the presentation night scheduled for early June in The Bridge.

And the 2017/18 season starts in early September - if you want to be involved come to the cup final on 3rd May, attend the next league committee meeting at the 22 Club on 8th May (8pm), visit our FB page Ormskirk and District Pool League or contact the league at thefarmersclub@hotmail.com
