Breaking Bad from Pilky's Cue Sports Club and Bar beat Leicester's Rail Huggers 25-19 it the final at the Cue Club, in Leicester, on Monday, just four months after they were formed.

"It was an unbelievable night for the club and the team," said Pilky's manager Ryan Stewart, who said the team had "outdone all our expectations".

"Last night they were all phenomenal, all season they've been brilliant," he said.

The team consists of captain Dylan Mitchell and players Summer Ibbs, Logan Robinson, Luca and Sergio Dellucci, Jordan Kellett, Stephen Almond and Ian Taylor

The Ultimate Pool League was set up in 2020 and features a handicap system, which "gives everybody a chance", said Stewart.

Stewart added: "It doesn't matter if you've only just picked up a queue or you have been playing for years, anybody can win. It makes it a really even playing field," he said.

"The pool scene at the moment is booming."

The final was shown on YouTube and TNT Sports.

Mitchell said it was "easy" to be the captain of a pool team

"You tell them to go out and enjoy it. We all play in the local league here and we love Keighley," he said
