The La Union Pool League was originally formed by a few resort owners in about 1989, the idea was to give visitors of their respective resorts a chance to visit other resorts in the area and meet new people.

Free transport was laid on by the resorts for their visitors to travel to other resorts on the ‘Beach area’ to give them a chance on Thursday afternoons for a general social gathering, play a game of pool and have a few beers and snacks.

A number of resorts have been involved over the years namely; Sunset Bay, Seamens, Cabana, Coconut Grove, Southern Palms, Ocean Paradise,  Ocean Deep, Green Light, Ocean Breeze,  ‘The Sportsman’s (now VFW) Bali Hai, and The Hideaway, Galaxy, Ellen's, DJ Body Shop, Seabreaze, Three Balls & Mc Grity's, Nalinac, Hideaway and Finnegans.

Because the idea was successful it was thought that a pool league should be formed hence ‘La-union Pool League’ was born.

The League is generously funded by the participating resorts and Bars
