News & Events

Belle Isle's Richard Binns defeated Farsley's Mark Ball 4-2 last night to take the Len Lee Invitation trophy.
The first 3 frames were scrappy, Binns taking the first (56-34) before some excellent safety play enabled Ball to take the next 2 (17-64,50-65).
In the fourth frame Binns levelled courtesy of a 48 break (63-27) and from that point it was one way traffic as breaks of 64 and 62 enabled him to take the last 2 frames (86-18, 81-15) and the match 4-2.
Thanks as usual to our hosts and sponsors the Northern Snooker Centre.

The final of the 3 Man KO between Moor Allerton Sports & Social and Gildersome Cons, will take place on Wednesday 5th June at South Leeds Conservative Club

19.45 start, dress code applies

The duo from Rowland Road claimed the Len Lee Pairs title with ease against the Father/Son Boyes duo from Gildersome Cons.

What is traditionally a long night of snooker was the complete opposite with the match done and dusted in just over an hour.

Giving away a 28pt start for each frame neither Dave or Daniel could get going in any of the 3 frames. All 3 frames won with relatively ease which was helped with some good potting from Millward and then in particular Oates with the best break of 32 compiled in the last frame of the night.

Scores:
34 - 85
3 - 86
9 - 89

Thanks to NSC for hosting the final. Paul Marlow for marking and to Mark Ball for officiating to such a high standard!

Beechwood WMC pairing Dave Scarlett and Gary Smith (22) defeated Denison Hall's Tommy and Jimmy Doherty (9) 226-192 in tonight's Stan Brooke Pairs final.
The Doherty's started the first frame well and had scored 40 points before their opponents had potted a ball but the Beechwood duo hit back and when Scarlett potted the final Black they had gone down by just 9 points 73-82. The second frame was another close one, Scarlett/Smith winning by 2 points (59-57) so the deficit was just 7 going into the final frame. With one red remaining, Scarlett/Smith led by 28 (21 on aggregate) and when Dave Scarlett potted the last red, followed by Black, Yellow, Green and Brown the match was effectively over.
Many thanks to referee Andy Kitson and our sponsors the Northern Snooker Centre.
