2025-26 John Lund Shield

5 Man Handicap Summer Snooker Winners

2025- 26 John Lund Minor and Major Premiers – Kahibah Cannons

Congratulations to the Kahibah Cannons five Man Handicap Snooker Team who won the 2025-26 Summer John Lund Shield after a close win over Nelson Bay Dolphins winning 3-2 at Belmont 16ft. Terrence Koo beat Mark Limana on pink in the third and last frame of the match. 

Commiserations to Nelson Bay Dolphins who had a great season. 

Chris Mungoven (ECBC 2) had the highest break of 62 during the season (negative handicap player) and Neil Audet (Belmont 16ft ) scored 38 (positive handicap player.) 

Many thanks to Belmont 16ft for hosting the Grand Final. 

Over the last 12 months the website theme that Newcastle Snooker used has become more problematic on mobile devices. As such the Committee has requested I investigate a better solution. Over the next couple of weeks I will be trialling different website themes in an attempted to find the best mobile friendly option. I will attempt to keep all data accessible for player during this transition, however the look and responsiveness may be affected whilst differing options are explored.

Regards,

Grant Schubert
