Kaieteur Sports- The Grand Central Bar in Grove, on the East Bank of Demerara, came alive last Sunday as Daniel Singh was crowned champion of the East Bank Pool Club (EBPC) Pool competition.
The one-day event attracted some of the finest talent in the game, treating spectators to precise and exquisite shots as well as some thrilling victories. The competition, played under eight-ball, ball-in-hand, single-elimination rules, was keenly contested.

The tournament featured an array of exciting matchups, but in the end, Singh outplayed his rivals to claim the top spot. His victory secured him the first-place prize of $80,000 in cash and the coveted champion’s trophy. His impressive display of tactics and ball awareness proved to be the key to his success.
Meanwhile, en route to victory, Singh faced numerous challenges. One of the event’s highlights was his victory over second-place finisher Steven Persaud. Singh also overcame Shamar Nelson in a previous round, with Nelson eventually securing third place. Persaud and Nelson received prizes of $40,000 and $20,000, respectively, along with their trophies. Andre Boyce rounded off the top four with a commendable performance.
“On behalf of the East Bank Pool Club, I extend my sincere appreciation to everyone who contributed to making this event a success. Your sponsorship and participation are invaluable, and we encourage you to continue supporting the club in the future. Today was a fantastic day of pool. Congratulations to all the winners,” one of the organisers stated during the closing ceremony.
