THE start of the new league will take place on May 10 but there are still vacancies for any three man teams who wish to join.

Players who have just completed an individual league have got together four teams but are looking forward to hearing from any players who wish to try to restore the art of billiards in the area, once a stronghold like the Middlesborugh area is now.

The league format will be to play three games, possibly of one hundred up, on a home and away basis on Thursday evenings, but teams would not be expected to play every week. Any team interested should telephone (01388) 730444 for further details.
