**Yorkshire Snooker League Captains and Delegates**

Important-Announcement-292x300

 




Hi All

Just a note for the future please, can all captains from the snooker teams in the Yorkshire League make sure the result is sent through to Terry Crofts as soon as possible after matches are played, so he can update the league tables as quickly as possible. I know some players are contacting me to find out what league standings are, but results are not filtering through to Terry quickly enough at the minute, therefore the table is not updated as he or you would like.

Terry runs the Yorkshire Inter-District League and needs the results first and foremost. Terry’s contact number is 07748 434032 and email is terrycrofts@gmail.com

Thanks guys
