27 November

Final Division One result in with Heart of Oak B climbing back up to second, with it very tight from second to seventh with only four points covering them.

A break for half of you next week with the Cup Prelims before the run-down to Christmas.

26 November - You will have had notice of next week's Cup prelims by now. After next week's matches we have eight weeks until the next round so, hopefully, we will get the next round draw done in that time. Had enough trouble getting the draw from the Competitions Secretary in the past, don't try working by Committee!

In Division One, Groom B and Groom J meet in the one derby match tonight in a match that has not gone well for Groom J in the past. No predictions for the rest of the games as it is very tight across the whole division.

Division Two and Clifton Inn complete their month away at Green Gables whilst Oak C will be looking to maintain their 100% receord with the visit of Star Inn. The bottom two clash tonight with Duke of York looking to improve on their one point per match average.

• 10.30pm - First result in and Lucombe B have beaten leaders All Stars S 4-3. Closely followed by another five results which have Groom B on top of Division One whilst Clifton Inn are presently on top of Division Two.
• 10.50pm - Division Two and Heart of Oak C v Star Inn has finished as yet another 4-3 which leaves Oak C one point ahead of Clifton Inn again.
• 11.35pm - All the Division Two results in with Duke of York doubling their season's total tonight. Top half of the table same as last week. Just the Oak B-Yeoman T result to come now, although that won't affect the very top of Division One.

19 November - Division One leaders All Stars S have the short trip away around the table whilst the bottom two battle it out at the Groom. Division Two leaders Oak C are at bottom side Duke of York whilst the two Heavitree Socials clash. Clifton continue their month away at the Lucombe whilst third and fourth places clash tonight in what should be a close match.

There should, hopefully, be a Wednesday Cup Prelim draw online this evening as we are getting a bit close to the date!

• 10.10pm and a couple of results in. In Div One, Heart of Oak B just beat Jubilee Club 4-3 away whilst in Div Two, Heart of Oak C stay well on top with a 6-1 win at Duke of York.
• 10.35 - A few more results in and it looks like a good night to play away as we are presently 6 from 6. Groom B have managed a win to keep them near the top whilst Devon Yeoman did themselves some favours whilst at Groom J. Green Gables and Seven Stars both won away to keep them up in the hunt in Div Two.
• 11.00pm - Division One and All Stars Z have spoilt things by getting a home win to stay second whilst in Division Two, Clifton Inn make use of their third away trip with a 7-0 win to stay second, just one point back.
• 11.40pm - The final Div One result in and another away win, leaving the top three unchanged. The Div 2 Heavitree Social derby could affect the top three but is unlikely to.
• Midnight - Final result in and another away win, just, which leaves the top three unchanged as suspected.

12 November - Division One and the first of several in-house clashes tonight with Yeoman T having the short trip to play Devon Yeoman. Jubilee Club visit Groom B for what could be a close match.

• 9.40pm - First couple of results in and Seven Stars didn't let Duke of York settle down tonight with a 7-0 win. Meanwhile, Groom B just edged Jubilee Club 4-3.
• 10.15pm - Heart of Oak C are now on top after beating Lucombe A 6-1.
• 10.40pm - Finally an away win, with Heavitree Social B edging out Green Gables and now Clifton Inn beating Ship and Pelican away in their relocated fixture.
• 11.00pm - All Stars S presently on top of Div One with their win over Heart of Oak A whilst All Stars Z are in third after beating Oak B.
• 11.30pm - All Div Two results in with Heart of Oak C taking top spot, Clifton Inn still second and Seven Stars up to third. Still waiting for the Yeoman derby result although All Stars S are confirmed on top this week.
• 11.55pm - Final result in (6-1 to Yeoman T), tables updated.

6 November - Table have now been updated, with Heart of Oak B on top of Division One and Heavitree Social A leading Division Two.

The Clifton Inn v Ship & Pelican fixture next week has been reversed owing to the possbility of works at the Clifton Inn over-running.The corresponding fixture in February has been swapped as well.

5 November - After last week's on-off session, hopefully we can get through this season now without any more interruptions, weather notwithstanding.

Sad news from Seven Stars, Kennford. They have informed us that Kev Collins, known to many of you as Tug-boat or Farmer, passed away last Friday. Condolences from all at Exeter Pool League.

Can all Captains (or a team member representing them) please make every effort to attend. We have cleared your fixture to enable you to have the time.

Thank you. Exeter Pool League Committee

7 May - We finish the 2024-25 season with the Wednesday Team Cup Final as usual. Horse & Groom B will be looking to add the Cup to the League title whilst Clifton Inn will be fighting for the honour of Division Two. Should be a good match.

• 9.00pm - Groom B obviously wanted an early night as they have finished the match in under an hour, 4-0 to the Groom without dropping a leg, congratulations to them on their "Double". Unfortunate for the Clifton that their opposition was in such fine form tonight.
• That's it for the 24-25 season. Again, many thanks to everyone for taking part. We should be back in the Autumn with forms available from mid August probably. Keep an eye on the website, although they will probably be emailed out to existing contacts as soon as they are ready.
  We now commence ten weeks of competitions, but if you are not taking part in any of that, have an extra long break and hopefully we will see you all after the summer hols.
