History of the Southampton Social Clubs Individual Knockout Snooker, known as the Mintrum Cup.
EASTLEIGH Railway
Institute’s Danny Gallant is the 36th different winner of the Southampton
individual snooker title since records began in 1949.
Billy
Grimes was the first recorded Town Champion and former Castle Club manager Chris
Holland has won the title 13 times over a staggering 41-year period.
In
fact, Holland recently ended Gallant’s unbeaten run in Southampton and
Winchester league matches this season.
Ex-Saints
star Ken Jones became the second highest title-holder when he won his fourth
final in 2003, aged 58.
