Inter District Round Up

There are just 2 results to report on from this weekends Division 1 fixtures, unfortunately the other 2 matches were postponed.

Sheffield “2” had a 4-2 victory over the new look Leeds “2” side, Shaun Wilkes proving the difference between the teams winning both frames.

In a match played earlier, Castleford defeated Wharfedale, also by a 4-2 score line. Pete Raby gaining both points for the home side, Gyles Behbood chipping in with a 63 break for the visitors.

In an effort to keep the number of re-scheduled matches to a minimum, the committee have agreed to amend league rules 5 and 10 which determine when penalties are applied to teams requesting the postponement of matches at short notice.

Once the new wording is finalised the revised rules will be posted on the website and will come into immediate effect.

Peter Lines is 2024 Yorkshire Snooker Champion

Peter Lines is the 2024 Yorkshire Snooker Champion

Peter Lines defeated Northern Snooker Centre clubmate Dan Womersley 4-1 in last night’s Yorkshire Snooker final.

The first frame was a scrappy affair, a missed pink off the spot proving costly for Womersley as contributions of 31 and 25 gave the frame to Lines 70-28. Lines then moved up a gear and a brilliant 108 clearance (108-5) was followed by a run of 82 (87-1)to give him a 3-0 lead at the interval.

After the break, Womersley came out determined to show what he could do and a break of 73 gave him the fourth frame (0-79).

The next was much closer and approaching the colours it was anybody’s frame. A nicely laid snooker on the Green put Womersley in trouble and after the third attempt, the Green was hit but left over the pocket. Lines stepped up and cleared Green to Pink to take the frame 62-34 and the match 4-1.

Congratulations to Peter Lines on his fourth Yorkshire Snooker title. He holds the unique distinction of winning the title each time he has entered, having been ineligible to enter for most of his career whilst in the Pro ranks.

Many thanks to Julian Bell for refereeing, Arnold Greenwood for marking and of course to our sponsors the Northern Snooker Centre.

It’s a clean sweep for Sheffield “2” in Division 1.

Congratulations to Sheffield “2” who sealed the Division 1 title after a flurry of matches on the final weekend.

Not only are they champions but David Dalton ended as “MVP” with an impressive 19 wins from 22 frames, and Will Lemons (101) took the high break prize.
At the other end of the table, Rotherham are relegated and Sheffield “1” will need to wait to see how many teams enter next season before learning which division they will be in.

Division 2 reaches a climax in a couple of weeks with the title being decided at Menstone, where unbeaten Leeds “2” just need a draw to clinch the title against second-placed Wharfedale. Kaif Shazad leads the MVP race but is only one win ahead of a chasing pack of 4 players. Tom Harris holds the current high break with a run of 103.

(The result for this match will be added to the website when the next round of matches is played).

In the race for the MVP, Lee Roberts and David Dalton are tied on 15 wins each, Roberts heads the table by virtue of having participated in more matches.

The high break is with Will Lemons (101).

The following matches are outstanding and must be played before the weekend of 1st/2nd June.

Kaif Shazad holds the top spot in the Division 2 MVP race with 11 wins, with 4 players sharing second place with 10. Tom Harris holds the high break with 103.

With all fixtures up to date, it looks like the last match of the season between Wharfedale and Leeds “2” could well decide the title.
