NDBSA News

It is with great sadness that the NDSBA farewells local snooker player Frank Nash.

Frank passed away on Thursday 1st December 2016 at the age of 77 years. He was an avid and enthusiastic snooker player for Wangi Workers Club in social and N.D.B. & S.A. Inc. competition for more than 20 years since moving to Wangi from Sydney.

He was a Committee member of the N.D.B. & S.A. Inc. for quite a few years and was devoted to snooker in Newcastle.

He was a past President of Wangi Workers Club Snooker Club and Vice President at the time of his passing and also a deserved Life Member of Wangi Workers Club Snooker Club which he stated was his greatest honour.

He served as President and Committee person on the Wangi Workers Club Board of Directors for many years.

Frank will be sadly missed by his partner Fay, his family and all of his snooker friends.

The NDBSA is trialling a new format in between the 2016 & 2017 Tony Tamplin Shield. The Summer League will be a tiered player team event with position determined by the current Tony Tamplin Shield handicaps. The competition is 1 round only then top 8 teams will enter finals play-offs the same as this years Tony Tamplin Shield finals.

 

The Lightning Billiards has been revamped slightly will all players getting 20 points deducted off their handicaps to lengthen the matches slightly.

 

The Premier League welcomes Wangi Worker’s Club back to the competition with as strong side. Wangi will be a real threat to Cessnock’s recent dominance of the event.

 

Starting dates:

Lightning Billiards – 10th October 2016

Summer League – 12th October 2016

Premier Snooker – 13th October 2016

Just a reminder that the Newcastle Open is less than a month away. The ‘Entry Form’ can be downloaded from newy-open-tournament-entry-2016. This event was a great success last year and this year we are hoping to make it even better with interest shown from Sydney and Interstate. Newcastle players featured strongly last year and will, no doubt, do so again this year so see how you stack up against Australia’s finest and enter now.

Congratulations to the Tennis Club Titans who, despite no home tables for the last couple of months, have taken out the Tony Tamplin Minor Premiership after a year long race of 30 weeks. Consistant results throughout the year have ensured the Kahibah Kings and Cessnock Ex-Services Club tied for 2nd and 3rd tied on both points and Win/Losses. Please see the attached image for finals positions and home games for all teams apart from Kahibah Kings and Cessnock No.2 which are negotiating a venue.
