Sincere thanks from myself and the players to Martyn Le Gallais who refereed both matches and to Byron Le Cornu who was on scoreboard duty. It really is appreciated.
The Snooker final will take place on Thursday 16th March @ 7.30pm at the First Tower Institute and will be refereed by Howard Smith.
If you can the JBSA would love to see as many people as possible to come and support the players in what hopefully should be an entertaining final.
