WIN A TRIP TO VEGAS WITH THE RILEYS ALL STAR POOL CHALLENGE
talkSPORT has teamed up with Rileys, the World's biggest chain of pool and snooker clubs to bring the biggest and fastest challenge to a town near you.
The Rileys All Star Pool Challenge is a chance for you to take on some of talkSPORT's sharpest shooters such as Alan Brazil, Andy Goldstein and Darren Gough to see if you're a genuine pool speedster.
The Rileys All Star Pool Challenge starts on October 6th at a Rileys Club near you. The challenge will run every Tuesday and Thursday during October and the winner will be the person who clears a pool table in the fastest time -that's all the spots and the stripes - against the clock and watched by a Rileys referee. The player who finishes top of the National All Star Challenge leader board will receive 'The Life Of Rileys' - an all expenses paid trip for two to Las Vegas!
If you think you've got what it takes then get down to your nearest Rileys and take the challenge for free!
And if that wasn't enough, tune in to Hawksbee and Jacobs to double your chance of winning big prizes to play 'The Ball breaker showdown' where you will get the chance to play to win a 'Life of Rileys' big night out up to the value of ?500.
The Rileys All Star Pool Challenge will also take place in January. Pool Speedsters of any age can take part and can have as many attempts to beat their time as they like. For a full list of Rileys Clubs visit Rileys.

Seriously though, are you sure it's meant to be on the English tables. They don't have english pool in the US of A. Not that I would ever doubt you Hannah |

I wondered that too, EmDee, as the 'spots and stripes' reference suggests US tables. Just looked on the website though and it says in the rules ...
"The Pool Challenge must be completed on a traditional/English pool table".
Hannah's right (of course).

Hi Hannah. It prob doesn't make the slightest difference, and i know people have mentioned it, but all other Rileys that i know are using red and yellows as it does say 'traditional english table'. Ok to revert?

Your right it doesnt make a difference. Just let the girls know if they have used the spots and stripes to change them.
