🎉Mid Ulster Snooker League 2026/27🎉

The new mid ulster snooker league will commence in the middle of October and with that in mind, we want to give everyone plenty of time to take on board a few changes.

Entry fees need to be paid by Sunday 20th September. Draws will be made based on these that have paid, no exceptions.

Team League - £80 per team
Premier League - £30 per player
Intermediate League - £20 per player
Tommy Walls, Doubles,Team Indiviudal are all £5 per player
Scratch Individual - £10 per player

Team league matches take place on Monday night at 8pm with home and away games.

We plan to keep 5+ Monday nights to play some individual matches. The idea being that it will allow players to enter that are busy on other nights.

The success of the tournaments is dependent on the tournaments being supported by the players. We will start these earlier in the season to allow plenty of time to arrange and play the matches.

💥new players and teams are always welcome. If you have a table at home and can get 3 players to play each Monday night then get in touch. It’s a great way to pass the winter months, handicaps are provided so everyone has a fair chance and the craic is always good.
If you can’t get a team and still want to play then get in touch and we may be able to field another team out of the club

Enjoy the rest of the summer ☀️

John & Owen McCormack Memorial 2026

Congratulations to Darren Bartlett on being crowned the 2026 John & Owen McCormack memorial champion.

Darren came out on top after a top class final against Peter Walls. The game was played in a great spirit which is the most important thing, especially in this tournament. Darren was in receipt of a 14 point start, it was very much a 50/50 match and so it proved. The match was in th balance throughout, Peter had a couple of fine breaks, a 58 and a 49 clearance. Darren had a high break of 45 on his way to a 4-2 victory.

Everyone in the club is delighted to see one of the top local players back playing again after years away, we are sure he is back to stay, commiserations on this occasion Peter.
Congratulations to Darren, his all round game continues to improve and there is a desire to improve which is great to see, no doubt there is plenty more to come.

A special thank you to Adrian Maguire for refereeing the final.

We would like to thank Traad Nurseries for their continued sponsorship and the McCormack family for the continued support.

A donation will be made in the coming days to a charity chosen by the McCormack family.

That wraps up another momentous season in the club in which we marked 100 years and were also crowned All Ireland Champions.

NI Under 21 Championship Joy For Connolly

Congratulations to Joel Connolly on being crowned the NI U21 Champion for the 2025/26 season.
It was a dominant display in the final against the current U16 champion, Darragh Gallagher. Joel will be delighted with his performance and a break of 99 in the last frame was a fitting way to secure the title. Darragh to his credit showed what he is capable of with an excellent break of 67 in the frame that he won. There is no doubt that these two young men are destined for bigger things and they are sure to have many clashes in the years to come.

Congratulations Joel and commiserations to Darragh.

A big thank you to Junior TD, Tommy McCrea. This season he has went above and beyond to ensure that there has been plenty of tournaments for the Juniors. We are sure that next year will be better again with Tommy at the helm. A thank you also to NIBSA referee, Patrick McConville who operated the scoreboard as Tommy carried out his refereeing duties.

On behalf of St Patrick’s Club, we are delighted to have hosted the Junior tournaments this season and to do a small bit towards the development of these young players.
