Hi Guys
Happy New Year to you all…..
Well we’re back into league action again. Herewith the updates for Week 12 – and before someone notices the date at the top of the league sheet is incorrect, sorry, but the tables is definitely as it stands now. Still the remaining Billiards & Dominoes fixture between Clayton Libs and Great Horton PC Cricket to be played, before the end of January.

Wayne Cooper starts the defence of his Yorkshire Championship snooker trophy with a tough tie against fellow Bradford player Gareth Green, who won the title in 2010 and beat Cooper in the 2011 Bradford final
BRADFORD’S billiards team started 2016 with an excellent 5-2 victory at Doncaster to put them back on track after recent disappointments.
Branson Hoole of Doncaster was left with something of a New Year hangover as Paul Devitt recorded a break of 37 and several others in the 20s to complete a 200-32 victory.
Bradford player Steve Wilman had given his cue a Christmas present – a new tip – and was rewarded with breaks of 49 and 41 in recording a 200-28 triumph over Graham Guest.
Then when Bradford captain Stephen Kershaw opened with a break of 61, it looked as if the last game would go the same way.
But Dave Parker hit back strongly with breaks of 37, 55 and 46 unfinished to restore some pride for Doncaster with a 200-129 victory, although it was not sufficient to prevent Bradford winning the match 5-2.
They are next in action on Saturday, January 16 at Harrogate.

It is with the greatest regret that I have to inform the players of ALL snooker leagues, Dudley Hill, Con League and South Bradford of the death of Dick Ackroyd. As many of you know Dick played in all the leagues in Bradford and had a heart attack playing in the Dawson Trophy at Wibsey Con Club. He was given CPR by a team mate and a player from Wibsey until the paramedics arrived and eventually got him stable. He was transferred to the BRI when he underwent scans etc to diagnose his severe illness. Unfortunately whilst having the scans, it was discovered he had a shadow on his lung. He was operated on but unfortunately passed away several days later.
Dick will be missed by everyone that knew him, but especially the players and members of Girlington Con. Club. Funeral arrangements have yet to be finalised. But the T&A will be carrying the announcement when details are known.
On behalf of the Bradford Conservative Games League, our deepest sympathy goes out to Dick’s family, may he rest in peace.
Dave Parrott — Chairman, Bradford Cons. Games League

Right On Cue
2015 has been a largely successful year for Bradford’s teams in both Billiards and Snooker and individually Bradford players did exceptionally well.
