Pool lovers come together for the first Scottish Asian Pool Tournament

UK charity The Well Foundation and Oceanic Sports have crowned the winner of the inaugural Scottish Asian Pool Tournament (SAPT).

This one day event was hosted at the Q Club in Glasgow and saw 12 selected participants compete for the trophy. Every player paid a fee, with all money raised going towards The Well Foundation.

It was a single elimination tournament with each game taking place under British Pool rules. In the end, Love Mishra was crowned the winner defeating runner up Zahid in a nail biting final game.                    

The SAPT is going to be an annual event where local fans of pool can get involved, show off their skills and get competitive. It is the latest successful event for The Well Foundation and Oceanic Sports following the well-received Scottish Ladies Football Cup and Soccer 5 Championship.

Oceanic Sports is hoping to bring ethnic minority communities together by involving them in exciting sporting events.

A spokesperson from The Well Foundation said: “This was one of the first non-football events we’ve hosted and we couldn’t be more proud with how it went.

“We look forward to expanding our list of events while bringing communities together in the name of sport and helping good causes.”
