Well done everyone, we've won team of the year!!!

Two of our members have just represented England in the Snooker Home Nations 2016 in London, Adeeb Moosa and Nikolas Charalambous. Both played for the England A team that went on to win the tournament beating Wales, Republic of Ireland and Emerging England then finally Wales in the final round. While Adeeb and Nikolas both made the semi-finals of the individual tournament with Nikolas beating Adeeb 3-0, then losing to Dan Devlin from Exeter 3-2 in the final. Highest break went to Charalambous with a break of 83.

Final arrangements of the new future committee of the club are currently ongoing and results will be posted soon.

Our last BUCS event of the year happened over the weekend in Leeds which was the BUCS Snooker Championships. UEA previous winners of the main championship and individual championships in 1998 and 1999. Had a team competing for the first time in 15 years.

UEA finished top of their group beating Durham 2's 3-2, Sheffield 1's 4-1, Strathclyde 1's 3-2 and St Andrews 2's 3-2. Drawing UCL in the quarter final we managed to beat them 6-0 and move into the semi-final where we played Strathcylde 1's which we won 6-0. Having drawn York 2's in the final of the Shield we narrowly lost 3-2. Gaining 41 BUCS points for the university.

Individual performances go out to Adeeb Moosa who lost to Dan Devlin (Exeter) the eventual winner 2-1 in the last 32. Nikolas Charalambous who lost to Stephen Maguire (Queens) 2-1 in the semi final. With Charalambous also making the highest break of the event and join highest ever recorded break at the championships with a max attempt of 112.

Thank you to all the friends and members of the club for the support over the weekend it was greatly appreciated.

We have recently returned from our national championships with UEA fielding three men teams and one women team. Our first team drew four games out of five while losing there other one unfortunately not progressing to the knockouts. The seconds couldn't continue the fine form from the Southern championships and failed to enter the knockouts. The third team had some of the most success of the event, finishing second in their group and beating Surrey 2nd's in a tense play off, narrowly losing to Manchester 1st's 6-3 in the following round.

The girls team finished top of the group beating seeded team St Andrews along the way to finishing top of the group. only to lose on a fluke to Nottingham Trent in the knockout rounds.

Our individual players also had some great performances with Amit Mistry losing 4-3 to Hertfordshire firsts player in the last 128, while Josh Edwards went down in the Last 64 and Nikolas Charalambous losing to eventual winner David Farrel from Strathclyde in the last 32.

The club would like to thank for all of the support from past members at the event and to new ones.

UEA had its first team at the recent Midland University Snooker Championship in Rugby last weekend. Losing narrowly 3-2 in three games and 4-1 in the other they proved they can compete at the higher levels. N.Charalambous won the individual competition while A.Moosa and L.Anders lost in the last 32.

BUCS Pool next weekend in Great Yarmouth. Good luck to all four teams entered.

Some great results from the weekend in Weston Super Mare. Adeeb Moosa making the quarter finals on the individuals with Nikolas Charalambous losing in the semi finals. our 1st team and 2nd's qualifying second in their group, but unfortunately both losing in the Last 16 of the championships.

An awesome experience and great preparation heading into BUCS as the end of the month.

Our Snooker team heads to Rugby this weekend to play in the Midland Snooker Championships, we will keep you updated with how they progress.
