In January, members of the Staple Inn Actuarial Society played fiercely to be victorious in the 2018 SIAS pool tournament. Eighteen teams of two, with their cues at the ready, played from the initial rounds through to the final set of matches where Eddy Martin and Paul Murphy were victorious and took home the crown (for a third year running). 

Teams also entered their creative team names, with the prize going to Patrick Cullen and Sam Fletcher for their team name 'Balls Out!'. 

The society's future events include the infamous SIAS pub quiz, the annual SIAS boat party and the annual dinner.
