Pubs in Wrexham and Flintshire search for pool champion
The event, hosted by Proper Pubs - the award-winning community wet-led operator division of Admiral Taverns which operates more than 200 pubs across England, Scotland and Wales – is set to uncover the best new talent in the pool world.
In Wrexham, the Long Pull will be taking part alongside Y Pentan and The Griffin in Mold. They will join two other pubs in Wales, the Vale of Rheidol in Aberystwyth and the Six Bells in Rhyl.
Sponsored by Fosters, the tournament is currently in its first round of pub heats, which will run until August 3. There is no limit to how many nights a week each pub can host matches, meaning that the heats can run across multiple nights per week.
Winners from each pub heat will advance to the pub finals, taking place during the week of Monday, August 4.
The champions from these finals will then progress to the regional finals, held during the week commencing Monday, August 18 at a venue near their local pub.
The competition will culminate in a grand final on Sunday, September 7 at a Proper Pub in Preston, where the overall winner will take home £1,000.

Nikki Greenhalgh, operations director at Proper Pubs, said: "It's been great to see all the fantastic events our operators have hosted for their communities so far and how much uptake the pub heats have already had.
"At Admiral, we are always looking for ways to support our operators and equip them with the tools they need to create thriving social hubs that sit at the heart of their communities.
"That's why we launched our Proper Pubs pool competition, as well as our 'Meet a Pro' evenings across both our Leased & Tenanted and Proper Pubs estate, to give our operators an easy, free way to drive footfall and most importantly, bring people together."
