A delegation from Whitburn & District Pool League paid a visit to The Yellow Teapot Club on Tuesday 21st June 2011 to present the charity with a cheque for £512.

The cash was collected by Whitburn Superleague players in the run up to the Super 11s event in March. The Superleague A team also donated their £250 prize money for reaching the Super 11s Quarter Finals to the pot.

The Yellow Teapot Club is a local charity based in Uphall. The club is for West Lothian children aged between 6 and 16 years who have additional support needs or disability. The club meet up on alternate Tuesdays at Uphall Community Centre and partake in such activities as Arts and Crafts, baking and dancing. As well as that the club also arranges trips out for such activities as ten pin bowling, swimming or horse riding.

Committee members Rab Peebles, Ian Quigley and Colin Moir were joined by Whitburn Superleague 11s B team Captain, Steven Moir to present the cheque.

Thank you to the organisers and the kids of The Yellow Teapot Club for making us very welcome on the night and a big thanks to all those who contributed to this very worthy cause.

The Scottish Pool Association Super 11s Championships were held at Craig Tara Holiday Park in Ayr between the 18th-20th March 2011.

Two teams from Whitburn started their respective campaigns on the Friday night. Whitburn A made hard work of their first match against East Kilbride B but in the end edged them out in a final frame decider, 6-5. Meanwhile Whitburn B were engaged in a ding dong battle against our West Lothian neighbours, Livingston A. The match went to the wire with Livingston winning another final frame decider.

It didnt take Whitburn B long to dispose of East Ayrshire A 9-2 the next morning while Whitburn A struggled to find form and went down to Kilsyth A by the same scoreline. Next up for Whitburn A was Doon Valley and again this one went to the wire with the Whitburn boys taking the honours 6-5. Whitburn B had another tough match against Uddingston B and came through it also 6-5 winners.

Both teams went into the Saturday evening sessions having won 2 of their first 3 matches. Whitburn A finished off the group matches with a 6-5 win over Bannockburn A and a 5-6 defeat at the hands of Central Ayrshire A, finishing 3rd in Group 1 and qualifying for the Last 32 knockout stage.

Whitburn B had a tougher task on the Saturday evening, facing up to two teams widely tipped as potential Champions. First up a 3-8 defeat to Avondale A followed by a defeat at the hands of the eventual champions, Edinburgh A. All of this meant Whitburn B finished 5th in Group 4, missing out in a place in the knockout stage by just one frame.

Going into the Sunday knockout stages Whitburn A had yet to produce the kind of form they are capable of. That was to change in the Last 32 though when they disposed of the 2008 champions, Paisley A very convincingly 6-2 to reach the Last 16. Another tough match awaited Whitburn in the Last 16 against Uddingston A but yet again Whitburn produced to take the match 6-3 and proceed to the Quarter Finals where they were to face off with Central Ayrshire yet again. The Ayrshire team produced some very solid pool to win the match 6-3 and deny Whitburn of a place in their first ever Superleague semi.

All in all a very successful weekend for both Whitburn teams. Congratulations to our two captains, John Reid and Steven Moir and to each and every one of the players in both A and B teams.
