happylarry Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 When I lived on Samui I used to play the pool comps at the Islander and Tropical Murphy's. I'm coming back for a holiday in February and have heard a rumor that one night pool comps are no more because pool leagues have taken over. Can anyone confirm this or let me know which bars on which nights where I can get a game please. Thanks HL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virt Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Samui Rock Cafe has sadly been sold and demolished, so no chance there anymore for Killa tournaments Gonna miss that place and the cool people there, when we get back for this years vacation. Maybe Premier sports bar in Bangrak do something similar? I know they used to do Killa tournaments on fridays, the day after they had quiz nights.

happylarry Posted January 30, 2014 Author Share Posted January 30, 2014 Thanks for your replies, so I guess the answer to my question is that the rumor was correct and there are no longer any pool comps. Oh well, times change, don't they. HL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
les Dennis Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Happy days. Whatever happened to Tony Minogue/Hughes? The guy that along with Paul Watsons backing started the pool league. I remember when it started with 6 teams. Murphys, Ark bar (unbelievable, I know), Scream (gone) Fawlty Towers (gone) Portebello (in Choeng Mon) gone and Shooters (gone).

That was Keith but it was then taken over by a couple of other guys one of whom was called Tony. It was quite a big building, what is it used for now then?

premiersportsbar Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 H L call into the Premier Sports Bar and ask about the pool league,,, if we are looking for players your welcome to join, if we are not I'm sure we can point you in the right direction. Games are on a Monday and a Wednesday, it's not compulsory to play, so I'm sure if your not up for 2 nights every week you can just jump in if and when you feel like it. Monday league consists of 4 single players and 2 pairs of players, so a minimum of 4 players or Max of 8, but the wednesday (league of gentlemen) is a bit more relaxed and you can play with as many players as you wish,, it's a race to 13 frames in the wednesday league so in theory, you could play with up to 13 players in a whitewash or more if frames are lost on both sides.... having said that, the serious teams play with 4 good players and the not so serious teams who are out for a good ole night of banter and beer will play with as many as they can muster. Hope this helps ya John @ Premier Sports Bar Bangrak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
