History was made in the Pembrokeshire Snooker League First Division as Clive O'Sullivan crafted a magnificent 102 break in a crucial deciding frame, leading Hook A to a 3-2 victory over the Star Club.

The century break came at a pivotal moment with the match delicately poised at 2-2, following an impressive 36 break from John Lloyd in the previous frame. O'Sullivan's achievement marks only the second officially recorded century break of the 21st century in the league, with Lloyd himself holding the previous record of 104 made in 2002.

League secretary Simon Pearce notes that while Eddy Collins made a 106 break in 2000, there was a dispute with Balfour Club at the time which means the score has been omitted from official records. The only other documented century in league records, which date back to 1986, belongs to Steve Davies with his break of 102 in 1992, highlighting the exceptional nature of O'Sullivan's accomplishment. Pearce notes that Steve Davies, who was known as "Peanut", was a prolific break builder and had attempted to turn professional.

Star Club's Simon Bourne, who shared the night's scorecard, was thoroughly impressed by the quality of snooker on display, playfully referring to Clive as Ronnie O'Sullivan's "half brother." Despite being a relative newcomer to the Pembrokeshire league, O'Sullivan had previously demonstrated his potential with a century break during practice late last year.

The achievement came as no surprise to his teammates, with Robert Phelps commenting, "Fantastic! Was only a matter of time!" John Lloyd, who refereed the frame, was equally effusive in his praise: "Was a pleasure to ref for a change! Fair play, Clive hits the ball so well he didn't look like missing! Every pot made easy because he had the cue ball on a string! Well done mate, lovely to watch."

We caught up with Clive to speak about his achievement...

A fantastic achievement last night Clive, at what point in the break did you start to think "this is on"?

I knew a high break was on after the first few shots as I had a lovely split going into the reds from a pink. The rest just came together. It helped that I never really fell out of position.

I'm not sure if you were aware but only one of century break has been recorded in the Pembrokeshire Snooker League this century, a 104 made by John Lloyd in 2002 - who happened to be reffing your match!

I had a 102 back in September during a friendly match at Hook Club [photo attached below], so matched it last night. It's funny John Lloyd was the one reffing the game...

And correct me if I’m wrong but are you fairly new to the Pembrokeshire Snooker League and have moved here from away, how are you finding it?

It's my first season in the Pembrokeshire league. I played in the Maidstone league years ago in Kent. Until last March I hadn't played any snooker for 20 years.

Let us know - have you had any centuries previously?

My last century was 20 years ago until September last year. My highest break is 137 in competition.

Thank you very much for speaking with us Clive, an incredible way to start the New Year and good luck for the rest of the season.
