SNOOKER REPORT TUESDAY 8TH SEPTEMBER 2020
PRINCESS GARDEN snooker handicap league.
After a gap of some six months, snooker and billiards team league matches resumed this week. Mechanics, St Aubin and Tower have opened putting into place all the necessary precautions to comply with Jersey Sport and Government guidance.
When covid struck there only remained 3 matches to play, so it is hoped that the 2019-2020 season can now finish. Three teams whose clubs have not yet opened are playing their matches at First Tower.
Leaders when the league was interrupted, St Aubin Warriors, remain top by four points from second place Services Short Cue Wonders and five points from third place St Lawrence Miniature Rifle Club who still have two frames to play.
