🎱 BETTER LATE THAN NEVER! 🎱

Sorry for the lateness with this post — we’ve been extremely busy behind the scenes with Academy admin, competitions and the usual snooker madness! 😂 But we couldn’t let this one go without giving Ethan and Noah the recognition they deserve.

Here are a couple of pictures of the lads proudly wearing their Grimsby & District Junior Academy tops in their hotels, as they prepared to compete in EPSB U16 Tour Event 1. 👏🎱

This is exactly what our Academy is all about — giving juniors the opportunity to learn, develop and compete at the highest levels possible. 💪

Both Ethan and Noah were competing against some of the best U16 juniors in the country, and they didn't look out of place. They both played superbly, more than holding their own at this level, and gained invaluable experience that will help them continue developing as players.

We don't expect progress to happen overnight. We work with our juniors, develop their games step by step and, when they're ready, help give them the opportunity to test themselves against the very best. 🎱📈

We're incredibly proud of Ethan and Noah, not just for their performances, but for the effort, commitment and attitude they continue to show.

🌟 The future of Grimsby & District Junior Academy is looking very bright! 🌟

And this weekend it's straight back into action as they head to Leicester for the U21 event! 🔥🎱

Good luck lads — keep learning, keep improving and most importantly, enjoy every minute of the journey.

The whole Academy is behind you! ❤️🎱👏

🎱 GOOD LUCK TO TWO OF OUR JUNIORS! 🎱

Good luck to two of our juniors who are taking part in the first event of the EPSB U16 Tour at Dereham in Norfolk this weekend! 🇬🇧🎱

Both Ethan and Noah put in the practice and effort to get themselves ready, and now it’s time to go out there, play their game and enjoy the experience. 💪👏

The Academy fully supports you and will continue to support you, just as we do with ALL of our juniors. ❤️

We are incredibly proud of every single one of you and the effort, commitment and determination you all put into improving your snooker. 🥰🎱

Play well lads, give it your best and most importantly… ENJOY IT! 👊

The whole Academy will be behind you and watching your progress. 👀🎱

And great to see you both taking it easy and relaxing the night before a big tournament… exactly as it should be! 😂👏

Good luck lads — go and enjoy the experience! 🍀🎱

🎱 SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITY 🎱

We’re looking for local businesses who would like to support the next wave of snooker talent from our area! 🌟

This season, 5 of our juniors will be competing nationally on multiple EPSB Junior Tours across various age groups — and competing at the highest level of junior amateur snooker available.

These opportunities do come at a cost.

As an academy, we have already covered the EPSB memberships and tournament entry fees for all five players. However, with tournaments taking place across the country, there are additional costs involved, particularly travel and overnight accommodation.

We are therefore looking for a business or businesses who would like to become part of their journey by sponsoring our juniors' competition waistcoats.

👕 Your company logo would be displayed on ALL 5 juniors' waistcoats throughout the season.

These waistcoats will be worn at:

🏆 U14 Stage 2
🏆 All U16 Tour Events
🏆 U16 Championship
🏆 U18 Championship
🏆 All U21 Tour Events

That means your company will receive exposure across multiple national events throughout the season, with your logo being worn by all five players as they compete around the country.

Our juniors range in age from 13 to 16, with our youngest competing at U14 level and our eldest already competing on the U21 circuit at just 16 years old.

They are members of the longest-running and most successful junior snooker academy in the area, with numerous titles and achievements across the academy over the years.

Most importantly, we are a Community Interest Company (CIC). We are not a business and we don't operate for profit — every penny raised goes straight back into supporting our juniors, their development, coaching and opportunities to progress in the sport.

❤️ By sponsoring the waistcoats, you won't just be getting your company logo on a shirt.

You'll be helping five young local players compete nationally, gain invaluable experience and hopefully progress towards the next level of the sport.

If you're a local company interested in supporting grassroots sport and investing in the next generation of talent, we'd love to hear from you.

📩 Please get in touch for more information about the sponsorship opportunity.

Let's get behind our juniors and see just how far they can go! 🎱🏆

🎱 JUNIOR ACADEMY – END OF MONTH HANDICAP TOURNAMENT! 🎱

What an amazing turnout for this week's Junior Academy session, with 12 juniors down for our usual end-of-month handicapped tournament! 👏👏

The juniors started with group stages, followed by a knockout competition, giving them the perfect opportunity to put everything they've been learning throughout the month into practice in a proper competition scenario. 🏆🎱

🔥 GROUP WINNERS & KNOCKOUT STAGE 🔥

🔵 Ethan Sheen won his group after a blue-ball shootout was needed, with everyone finishing on the same points!

💪 Layten Ling won his group and continued his fantastic form.

🎯 Ethan Hornigold also came through as group winner.

⭐ William played superbly to win his group AND raise his highest break to an excellent 18! 👏🔥

A special mention has to go to Ethan Sheen, who was competing in only his 2nd week at the academy. Ethan made it all the way to the semi-finals, showing some fantastic shot-making and matchplay. For a junior who is only just beginning his snooker journey, that's a brilliant achievement! 👏🎱

Another huge mention for William, who won all of his group games before narrowly losing his semi-final 2-1 to Layten Ling. All three frames went right down to the final black! 😱👏

And to top it off, William raised his highest break to 18! Fantastic progress! 🔥

🏆 THE FINAL

Layten Ling went on to win the final 2-1 against Ethan Hornigold, producing a fantastic 42 break in the deciding frame to clinch the tournament! 👏🔥

Layten also recorded an impressive 55 break during the group stages.

🥇 WINNER: Layten Ling
🥈 RUNNER UP: Ethan Hornigold
🎱 HIGHEST BREAK: Layten Ling – 55
⭐ PLAYER OF THE WEEK: William Pearson-Oldcorn
🏅 PLAYER OF THE MONTH: Sam Hardwick

A massive well done to ALL 12 juniors who took part. 👏👏

It's fantastic to see how much every single one of them is developing week on week. The improvement, confidence and matchplay we're seeing is brilliant to watch. 🎱❤️

Keep up the hard work, keep listening to the coaches and most importantly... keep enjoying your snooker! 🙌

See you all again next Saturday! 🎱💪
