Snooker & Pool Club Update

Queen's are the new British University Pool Champions!

Five years after our victory in the inaugural event, we beat Durham! 6-3 in Sunday afternoon's final in Great Yarmouth. We proved ourselves the best of no fewer than 70 teams at this event. The winning team is: Emmet McGuire (c), Paul McKay, Gareth Quinn, Chris Canning, Aedan McCotter. We're hoping for a double in three weeks when we go for a hat-trick of British snooker titles in Leeds.

From the opening of the Union in 1967, the Snooker and Pool Club was based in the basement. Its eight tables were a favourite haunt of a young hustler named Alex “Hurricane” Higgins. In 2004, cue-sport facilities moved to their present location on the First Floor behind the Speakeasy. Remarkably, Queen’s had won the Irish and British pool titles that year with no pool tables for practice!

Representing your institution at an intervarsity is often the highlight of a student’s career. The Club has turned it into an art form over twenty years through countless trips to all parts of Ireland and the UK. Queen’s has also played snooker in the Belfast leagues on Thursday nights for more than thirty years, which has contributed to our incredible record in intervarsity snooker (11 Irish titles, eight British “A” titles and nine British “B” wins say it all).

From its early days, the Club has enjoyed a genuine cross-community flavour and a high public profile through exhibitions by Jimmy White, Joe Swail and Peter Ebdon who visited the clubrooms in 2002 as world champion - click here to see!
