Riley’s Wavertree and Grand Central in Liverpool were treated to a spectacle of pool in the recent UPC Nine-ball Pool Championships, as local representatives Edge Hill University overcame University of York to win their first university team title. University of Manchester dominated the Individual Championships with an unprecedented three out of four semi-finalists, with the eventual champion Nick Clayton defeating his Manchester team-mate John Fryer in the final. With around 150 students participating, this event continues to boast the title of the biggest annual nine-ball event in the UK.
