THE Comrades Club on Adelaide Street in Blackpool has the best snooker team of its entire history - achieving a double which has never been done in the snooker league before.

Ever since its founding after the First World War, the Comrades Club has entered a team in the region's clubs snooker league - that's 81 years of competition - but only with a modicum of success.

This year they have not only won their division's title, but also the Fylde League Cup and are the toast of the clubs membership.
