London City Win Interleague KO Cup 2025

For the first time, London City Interleague team have won the London region KO cup!

Sunday 16th March saw the London Region Interleague Knockout Cup held at Spots & Stripes. London City qualified for the competition day itself by beating Battersea B earlier in the season.

To win the competition, a team needs to go undefeated through three matches on the day, in races to 10. Overcoming (a now traditionally) nervy start in the opening set of frames, the team managed to put in unnervy and tactically astute performances across the board to emerge victorious.

Results:

Qualifier: London City 14 - 9 Battersea B

R1: London City 10 - 7 SE London

R2: London City 10 - 8 Frank Smith Hotshots

Final: London City 10 - 3 Battersea A

Massive congratulations to the team, and new captain Rupert Ward - immediately achieving the best result of the leagues career in Interleague. This is also the first time that the team has made the final in the event since 2014.
