15.01.25- LEAGUE UPDATE ... ONE FRAME KO....

Another great night at the Plaza for the ONe Frame KO , 61 players turned up and some fantastic pool along the way .Arguably the best match featured the reigning champion Nick Wilshaw and Lachlan Taperek who both exchanged 8 ball clearances before Nick edged through.

It was Joshua Fletcher-Norman who came through the losers section to lift the trophy at become OFK25 champion. Josh came through the losers side of the draw after losing to Ryan Longson in Round 3. Runner-up to the England Junior International was Dave Beaumont , ex wheelchair world champion . The only dissapointment of the night was that no championship players made it through to the last 8 ...

Many thanks to Adam Davis for hosting the event , our Competition organiser Lee Baskerville and of course our commentary team of Liam Flaherty and Paul Ward .

13.11.24 - LEAGUE UPDATE ...

The season is ticking along nicely , teams still struggling with the use of reserves in the APP , we now have a team losing two points, not the best thing to have to do ... On a positive note the Premier League has finished its 'first time' around and is looking good. All the sides have the abilty to take points and even the lower sides are giving the top boys 'a game' . All good for the league. The Championship is as i predicted looking like a two horse race with Bank Shot Bandits leading Manor by 2 points ..

Single merits draw is now live. We do have reserves waiting if anyone can't make it ..please let me know...

06.11.24 - LEAGUE UPDATE ... APP ... SINGLE MERITS ..NEW COMPETITION ....

After the issues with teams unable to understand the 'use of Reserves' within the league APP we have a done a simple 'how to' guide which appears on our rules page  or HERE FOR QUICK ACCESS ..Any questions please ask

Single Merits update. The competition has been capped at 64 entries .. we do have a short reserve list at present , more details later on that one.

The opening round will be played at 16 venues with 4 players battling it out over races to 4 . All losers in any match will be eligible to enter either the new competition the Premier Plate or the Championship Merits (only Championship players) So all players have two competitons for a fiver .

The venues have been drawn and the order will be used for the Double merits as well . On that subject we still have two place available.

All draws will be out next week so you have until next Tuesday to get in the Doubles.

16.10.24 - LEAGUE UPDATE

Meeting date change to Sunday 27th October . We will be answering any questions on using the app and hopefully giving you a easy to do sheet. This is aimed at all players as sometimes captains are absent.

At the next meeting we will be collecting Single Merits and Double merits entries.

26.09.24 - LEAGUE UPDATE

A update for the app ..

Every result sheet was perfect this week . Seems everyone has sussed the reserve rule .

Couple of things we have found regarding subs
A sub could play last in set 2 and first in set 3 . Therefore playing two consecutive frames.
A sub could play the same player twice (the opposing teams sub)

Both are ok by the league .

As we’ve all got to grips with it the amnesty finishes !!! and anyone playing the wrong order will fall foul of the league rules.

8-balls - teams are still putting reverse dishes down a clearance from your first visit with 15 balls on the table just tick ✔️ on the Break and Dish option .

All cup draws are on the app and the website , to be played on October 22nd.
