just before the start of the new season. Since then the mighty Saracens got back to back League wins in both the 17/18, 18/19 seasons. Unfortunately due to many lackluster performances and numerous dropped ball and missed tries Som Piselle has decided to call it a day and retire. He hopes to one day make it back to his old form once seen by many in the 14/15 seasons. During the 2018 season the Newport Saracens embarked on a different challenge that is the Welsh national 8 ball pool league. They started in the bottom league where they sealed their first victory away at the Columba club. They went into the last game tied 3-3 with their club coaches Jonny 8ball Morris and Patrick the pocket James taking the cues. The game was tense and it came down to a difficult shot on the black.

Since then the Sarries pool team has seen their ups and downs with their Achilles heel being female opposition. They are currently at the top of the league after playing one game in the 2019 winter pool
