🎱 WELCOME TO THE NEW ECB BLACKBALL SEASON! 🎱

A warm welcome to all our new players and a big welcome back to our existing players! The league officially kicked off last night, and some of the first scores have already been loaded. Judging by the early results, we are in for a very interesting and competitive season! 🔥

Remember: some nights the balls will listen, and other nights they will pretend they have never met you! 😂 The excuses, friendly banter and “that pocket definitely moved” stories have officially begun!

We have also received some fantastic team photos to share, everyone still smiling before the competition gets serious! 📸😄

Good luck to all our ECB teams and players. May your aim be straight, your breaks be strong and your excuses be believable! 🖤🎱
