The Club 2000 pool team started at the same time that the club opened in 1999, with Stevie Wylie as captain and founder.

In the early days another team, Club 2001, was formed by Simon Cathcart which consisted of many youngsters who have since gone on to bigger things (Russell Baillie, Lindsay Robertson, Stuart Robertson, Ian Robson, Paul White). After a couple of seasons, the teams merged with Lindsay Robertson taking over as captain and guiding the team to their highest finishing place and to the quarter finals of the League Cup.

After a disappointing 2007 season under captain Graham McCann, Chris Bryden took over the captaincy for season 08/09 and after losing all but 2 of the previous team it took a while for the new team to find it's feet, however there was a massive improvement in the team in the second half of the season as the Club 2k have added a lot of young new players to their ranks. This was evident for all to see as the Club was guided to it's equal best ever finish and also reached the final on the Robert Black Consolation cup, losing out to The Hotshots.

The 2009/10 season seen Club 2000 have their best season on record, an 8th place finish was achieved as well as first ever wins against the Hotshots and Greenhills meant there was plenty to celebrate in 09/10. After a strong cup showing in 08/09, a lot was expected within the ranks for another good run in one of the cups, this however didn't materialise with the Club 2k going out both cups without much of a fight.

There was more joy however in the singles area of the league for Club 2k, the team were represented by no fewer than 4 team members playing for EKPL at the Super League 11's event in Feb 10. Chris Bryden and Jack Stewart both achieved the feat of getting to the 09/10 EK Singles quarter finals, Jack unlucky not to go that one step further dropping out in a final frame decider. Most importantly Club 2000 had a representitive in the Scotland U21 team at Bridlington, with Jack playing well for the team all the way to the final in which Scotland lost to Wales.

For the upcoming season 2010/2011, with Chris Bryden still captain, as well as the Club holding onto best players Jack Stewart and Iain Wilson, a lot is expected of this team. The addition of Jamie Harkness is also a good sign they are still building for the future. The team have set targets this year of a minimum 8th place finish and at least one good cup run this year, however with the team maybe lacking in a bit of experience will it be to much to ask for the Club to top last seasons effort?
