2023 Summary
After an excellent Cuppers participation of over 200 and the re-introduction of English Billiards Cuppers, we had some hard-fought inter-university comps. At BUCS snooker, we lost to eventual plate winners Derby in the semi-final, coming down to a close blackball shootout. In trinity we travelled to cambridge in exam season to suffer a hard lost in the varsity event, although MVP H. Morris won all of his snooker and pool matches. Then to St Albans, where we were joined by 2 ex-students, including the 1993-4 president, for a 10ball event that saw us reach the quarter finals.
2021/22 Summary
This year OUPSC has competed in BUCS 9-ball, the Southern Universities 8-ball Pool Championship, Varsity and BUCS Snooker. We organised Cuppers competitions where we had over 150 participants.
In BUCS 9-ball individual championship President Bradley reached the furthest and finished as a quarter finalist. On the team side Fubiao, Connor and Bradley marched to the Team Trophy Quarter Final but narrowly lost 2-1 to UCL 1st. This was OUPSC's first expedition to BUCS 9-ball in 12 years and our performace secured BUCS points for Oxford.
The Southern Universities 8-ball Championship Individuals saw Max make the most progress to the third round of the 1 loss bracket. In the Team Shield Elizabeth, Max, Connor and Calum nearly secured 3rd place but were denied by Bristol 2nd.
Varsity saw Cambridge take home both the pool and snooker titles. We narrowly missed out on the pool title by 44-46.
Here are some pictures of our 2021/22 season so far.
