14.08.2020 .....LEAGUE UPDATE 'COVID' ...
Tuesday night was a tough night for all the league and with a few other people hoping we would 'fall flat on our faces' I think we came out of it with a 'good' on our report card.
The 3 venues that were praised were Cuckoo, Corner Pin and Plaza .... well chuffed with the feedback at those 3 venues. A couple of venues even did a personal plated food selection (chips and sausage !!!) to them I can only tip my hat and thank them ....
A chance this week for the other half of our teams to be at home ... I will text all delegates again this week for feedback both negative and positive and report again to you you guys.
At Plaza for example (I was there) On entering the
building I sanitized my hands, had my temperature taken and signed in
...
Before we started play the table was wiped down, clean balls were
given to us , two triangles and two whites and a anti-bac cloth ...
Don't forget your personal hygiene can go a long way , sanitize your hands on entering the building and before you leave ..
Lets continue our aim to beat covid and play the game we love ....
11.08.2020 .....WE ARE BACK ...
A big thank you to all players , where I was playing safety was taken very seriously and all players obeyed by the rules of the land whilst playing the game we all love ... Thanks ....
So it was match 6 on the calendar in the resumption of the Stoke Pool League 2020 season, which has now become 2020/21 season and in the Premier League we started with a slight shock as Plaza , reigning champions were defeated 6-4 on their own table by Longton Zzz's . Smallthorne Vic took advantage to go top , but have played a game extra on Plaza and Longton Zzz's. Longton Pool moved off the base of the table after a 6-4 win over Scorpions.
In the Championship the top 2 both eased to wins Cuckoo A 7-3 winners over Cuckoo A and Nomads 6-4 over Cuckoo Rileys. Plaza Blinders are in third a point behind the leaders after a 8-2 win over Cuckoo B.

Remember that its important to be safe and with this in mind we are informing all clubs and pubs that NO food will be available after any matches. Multi table venues are allowed to 'move' teams around around and have been requested that one table either side of a match table is left free for players to 'keep a distance' inline with government guidelines.
• Players must not enter the pub/club
if they are symptomatic or living with someone who has a possible
confirmed case of COVID-19
• Players should wash their hands with soap and water
for at least 20 seconds before leaving home and sanitise their hands
before and after play
• No
shaking hands before or after play
• Avoid unnecessary touching of the table, such as
leaning on the table edges
• Players should use their own equipment as much as
possible – clean and wipe these down before and after play
• Players should use their own chalk and cue towel,
and not leave these on the side of the table
• Do not share
equipment
• Players must remain at least ONE metres apart from
others at all times, sticking to opposing sides of the table where
possible
• Avoid sharing ‘touch points’, such as triangles and rests
• Pack up and leave the table before the end of the
Match
• Avoid congregating around the table before or after
play to allow access for others
We are looking into using a team sheet with players name & addresses to hand into the pub/club to follow track and Trace policies.
Remember these guidelines are very fluid and subject to change ... guidelines NOT rules .
Full PLAYER guidelines from the WPBSA (snooker governing body) are HERE (Dated July 7th)

20.12.2018 .....AGM NEWS ...
The 2020 AGM was held on Thursday ready for next seasons start. Of the proposals passed was the breaking rule. For next season the initial lag will be followed by alternative breaks , not as this season lagging each frame.. The end of the season cups have been replaced by Mid season cups and the stats will only show league games (saves me hours of inputting !!! but that's what you want ..)
On a positive note the new look calendar is now completed by our new marketing officer ...The league once again will be sponsored by Afford rent-a-car, All five cups are now sponsored including two new sponsors plus 6 new calendar sponsors. A big thank you and more proof that the league remains financially strong.
The 2020 website will be launched over the next week ready for the new season.
