SOUTH EAST LONDON POOL LEAGUE
Est. 1970
Governors' Cup
The Governors' Cup is open to the landlord or manager of venues in the league in each season or any bona fide member of the bar staff, or, in the case of Clubs, members of their Committees and is played on a straight single frame knock out basis with a best of 3 final.
In recent years we have extended entry so that venues with two teams can have two entrants in the competition. Also in recent years the competition has been played at the home venue of the previous season’s winning player, hence this season the event will take place at Smeta.
