	The A Team must be still on their Summer holidays as they didn't get ANY points in Week 1? Bottom of the Division... but in good company with reigning Premier Champions, Abingdon Con A... who had a BYE!

	A cracking start to the B Teams campaign as they white wash the A Team in their opening 'derby' match! New Summer signing Phai starts with a 24 (the 'Thai Typhoon'?). Dizzying heights, at the top of the League! Now keep it there!!!

	Welcome to the League Wallingford C Team! Despite KP's absence, PB steps up to steer the newest team in the League to their debut win. Stand up boys & be proud of yourselves! It may have been a battle against Closing Time, but it's 3 points.

Wedding Day Congratulations & Best Wishes!

I'm sure that all you Snooker Blog readers will join with me in wishing all the very best to Tom Williams & his fiancée Clare for their forthcoming Wedding Day on Saturday 31st August!

Fingers crossed for good weather for you both... & sorry Tom, but I couldn't resist posting one of your Stag Do pics! (Least it's not the mankini one!).

Hope you have a lovely day & a fantastic Honeymoon (what do you mean your missing the start of the new season!? Lol!).

Best wishes from all your mates at Wallingford Comrades Club!

Greene King Autumn Tournament!

Entry poster is on the Snooker Room Notice Board & is filling up fast!

And while your in there putting your name on this, don't forget to put your name on the D&DS&BL sheet for the rapidly approaching season!

Only four weeks 'til the new season starts!

Yes, it's that time of year again!

The 2013-14 Didcot & District Snooker Season starts on Wednesday 11th September!

The Snooker Reps Meeting was held last night at the Marlborough Club & please see the attached docx below for the Secretary (Clair Spires) minutes.

I will be going to the Captains Meeting on Tuesday 3rd September & will be posting more information on here & the Comrades Club Snooker Board re the League & the resurrected Greene King Autumn Tournament (date tba!).

Best find the cue, dust it off & get some practice lads!

Player of the Season!

And finally (after an engraving issue!), I can proudly announce that the recipient of the prestigious Tanner Trophy for Player of the Season is Tom Williams!

Tom had a fabulous first season in the Comrades representing the A Team. He not only played a major part in the teams success in winning the Jim Taylor Final, but also achieving Runners Up in the League & John Evans Cup, Runner Up in the League Singles (beating the holder, Ian 'Sid' Barnes in the semi final), but he also won the League Novice Title at his first attempt!

His team win rate was a creditable 62%, only missing the 'Golden 1000' points by 11 after 21 frames!

I'm sure you all join with me in congratulating him & also wishing him & his Fiancée Clare all the best as they marry on 31st August! (Hmmm...does that mean you'll miss the start of the Season mate?!).

Congratulations Tom!

18th Annual Gilbert Shepherd Memorial Shield Tournament

Hi guys, just a quick Thank You from Andy Rance & myself for a good turn up of competitors & making this years Gilbert Shepherd Tournament such a success!

A good attendance always makes for a good day & we hope you all had a good time.

The final was contested between Phil Hall & Simon Ellam. Phil took the first frame but Simon fought back well to level winning the second. It was a close deciding frame but Phil took it on the pink (after a marathon day of 13 hours of snooker-it really was 'Last Man Standing'!).

Commiserations to Simon who gave it everything & congratulations to Phil who made the trip up from Devon worthwhile, taking the shield (for the first time since 2001) & winners Prize Money!

Congratulations also to Nigel Woods who won Best Non League Player (bowing out to Simon in the Semis) & Pete Billingham who nicked the High Break prize with a 48.

We will be running a pre season Green King Trophy (on the same format as the Gilbert Shepherd) sometime in September so keep ur eyes on the Snooker Board!

Thanks again & have a good summer!
