Congratulations to the Kahibah Sports Cobras who pipped Toronto Workers Club to take out the 2018-19 Lightning Billiards Minor Premiership. Both teams will now face off in Grand Final 7pm this Monday the 28th January at the Belmont 16′ Sailing Club. Good luck to both teams.

The 2019 Billiards season, the Elwyn Jones Shield, will commence on the 18th Feb – if you are interested in submitting a team please contact Grant Schubert, Neil Pratt or Ian Callaghan by the 4th of February.

The 2019 Annual General Meeting for the Newcastle District Billiards and Snooker Association will be held on Monday the 4th of February at 6:30pm at the Kahibah Sports Club. Anyone interested in nominating for a position in the upcoming Committee should submit their interest in writing to the Secretary by the 29th January 2019. As usual there will finger food and a drink voucher on the night to encourage as many members as possible to attend. Please Note: The AGM will be held at the room behind the ‘Kahibah Sports Club’ restaurant – not where it was last year.

Due to extended delays in receiving results from a few (not many) teams the NDBSA Committee has passed that any team who does not send ‘readable’ results through within 24hrs will receive no points for that match. Over the last few years we have been patiently chasing teams for results but one or two captains are constantly delaying the posting of everyones results to the web. If a captain cannot send results via photo to results@newcastlesnooker.com.au or 0477 829 588 then they are required to phone and verbally give results (0477 829 588). When filling out books please fully complete in legible writing. In the Tony Tamplin and Premier League its preferable that rather than ‘W’ or “L” that the number of frames a player has won is inserted in that column to aid with confirming team points.

The 2018 Elwyn Jones Billiard Shield Starts Monday the 19th March. There are 4 teams in this seasons competition which will run for 5 rounds. Only top 2 teams into finals. Draw can be found here. Good luck to all teams!

The NDBSA is proud to announce that 6 there are six new qualified snooker referees and 3 new qualified billiard referees – all members of the NDBSA.
