2012/13 Season – Three Player Division / Four Player Division / League Cup Update

www.snooker-league.org

With the season shortly to reach a climax in both divisions, whilst Saffron Snooker Flukes seem to have almost have the Four Player Division wrapped up as they currently lead Newport A by 11 points with only 4 matches remaining, the Three Player Division is far from over with several teams still in contention.

Whittlesford Social Club currently lead Sawbridgeworth USC Bandits by 2 points, and both Saffron Pockets and Spiders by 4 points, again with 4 matches remaining.  BS Social Club have the advantage of a game in hand on all the teams above them in the league and a 6-0 win could see them go into second place, 1 point behind Whittlesford.

The League Cup Semi Finals were both played this week with Whittlesford Social Club taking on Saffron Snooker Spiders at Sawbridgeworth, and Dunmow Club taking on Sawbridgeworth USC at Takeley Social Club.  Whilst Sawbridgeworth USC powered into the final with a quick 4-0 win over Dunmow, Whitlesford and Spiders made a longer match of it with Whittlesford eventually running out 3-2 winners having initially gone 2-1 up only to be caught 2-2.

The League Cup Final will be held on Tuesday 7th May 2013, venue to be confirmed.
