Northwest team championship.

[inevermissblue]

Hi all. I would just like to inform everyone of the creation of the North West Team Championship on behalf of Greater Manchester Inter-Snooker League.
I was contacted today to discuss their idea and it's possible benefits. This has in my opinion come at the right time. As it is a shorter format than the County setup, whilst it would now be able to accommodate those areas that had problems entering the NCC in it's first season owing to player numbers or suitable venues.
These will be 5 man teams open to all areas. This is still at the early stages but more info will be available shortly.
Could you please reply to this with possible numbers of teams so that we can gauge the level of interest? Then I will relay this back to the relevant parties.

Thanks.
Simon Seabridge.

Hi bolton-cueman, yes there was an inter league. It's the National County Championship. It's run by the EASB & will be run again starting Sept/Oct. More info for the 2015/16 season will be on their website shortly (www.easb.co.uk). This seasons results & league tables are on their website.
I would like to wish them all the best in this venture. Takes a lot of planning & commitment. Good luck to all involved.

Hi there. Interleague/ team championships have been running for years under different guise's. County isn't quite the same. For instance;

www.leaguesnooker.co.uk run the uk league snooker annual championships. This year hosted by Northern Snooker Centre, Leeds. A couple of years ago they held there finals weekend at South West Snooker Academy, which I though was fantastic. This is where we had our inspiration from with regards getting County Snooker back again.

The Jersey Open Snooker Championship. This is hosted by Jersey over a number of days to play to a conclusion.

All of this and more has always existed. However most counties/ areas have suffered from player numbers and various other issues. County Snooker has gone part way to raising awareness to what is actually happening up and down the country. So this is all slowing trickling through.

As mentioned previously. I will get back to everyone once I know more details.

Thanks again.
Simon Seabridge. (Staffordshire).
