All Star Pool Challenge Winners Announced

Stuart Wilson is the ‘fastest pool player’ in the UK.

Stuart, 30, of Crewe, won the Rileys All Star Pool Challenge with a clearance time of 30.33 secs.

The Rileys All Star Pool Challenge – staged with talkSPORT radio – was a nationwide competition to find the fastest player to clear an English pool table ending on the black ball.

Stuart said: “I’m in complete shock! I knew my time was fast but I never thought it would be enough for me to win the Challenge.”

As the winner of the Challenge, Stuart has landed himself an all expenses paid trip for two to the Formula 1 European Grand Prix in Valencia in June 2010.

And Stuart can hold his head up high – his time is quicker than snooker legend and Rileys Ambassador Ronnie O’Sullivan – who only managed 1 min 06secs!

Stuart, who plays snooker for Rileys Crewe, was presented with his Rileys All Stars Pool Challenge trophy on December 14 by manager Louise Rennison.

Louise, said: “Stuart’s clearance time is a fantastic achievement. We’re very proud of him.
“Rileys has uncovered some amazing talent all over the country with the All Star Pool Challenge. Stuart is right up there with the best of them.”

Rileys Chief Executive Maurice Kelly said: “We are delighted with the success of the second Rileys All Star Pool Challenge. Congratulations Stuart, and very well done.

“Over 4,500 people took part – 2,000 more than in the previous challenge! The continued success of the Challenge means we will be launching a new one in January.”

  • Fastest Female – Michelle Sothern, 26, of Preston: 1 min 05.32 secs
