04/03/10...Details of the one-off Thursday Division 2 Cup have now been confirmed.
Due to the withdrawal of Rileys L&G from
Thursday League Division 2 and the subsequent
amended fixture list resulted in the Division 2
season finishing 5 weeks early, an extra cup was
set up for Division 2 sides at the end of the
season. Teams have been split into two groups for
round one. Scoring system in the groups will be
the same as league matches (a point for each
frame and point for winning the match). One round
of fixtures only (see fixtures list).
04/03/10...The Tuesday Cup final will be between Trecenydd
and Fairwater after they won their respective
semi-finals against Mackintosh and Savoy this
week. Trecenydd are looking to retain the trophy
they won last year. Elsewhere, County beat
Penarth BL 3-1 to set up a Plate Final against
the University.
27/02/10...It's looking likely
that Tuesday teams will move to Thursday nights
next season. This is being discussed in a lively debate on the league forum. Please sign in and have
your say about the league structure. If you
aren't a member then it's free
and easy to register.
27/02/10...Taffs Well had their Thursday
League
lead reduced to a single point this week as Cathays
Cons took all 5 frames against Penylan
Club. Taffs Well managed a 3-2 win over Gower A.
Still within striking distance are Aber
& Senghenydd, who took a 3-2 win off
Canton A, and South Wales Snooker, who were
beaten 3-2 by reigning champions Canton C. One
quarter of the season to go (7 matches), and just
5 points separate the top 4.
With just 2 weeks left in Thursday
2,
Potters Bar gained a crucial advantage
this week, beating Gower B 3-2 whilst Wellington
lost 4-1 against Rumney BL to lie 3 points
adrift. They need to avoid being outscored by 3
points or more next week by Potters Bar to take
the title race down to the last week. Roath
Labour had their promotion chances hit by
Trecenydd B, who beat them 3-2.
26/02/10...A reminder that the first set
of matches for the singles and doubles must be
played by midnight on Sunday. Comp results are
being added to the website all the time.
Congratulations to Neil Tomkins who made
a 112 break in the Cardiff Open in his
first round match.
26/02/10...This week's big game
changed the leaders of the Tuesday
league
after County beat title rivals
Mackintosh for the second time in a row. County
may rue the fact they didn't kick on from their
3-0 lead, and lost the final two frames. A word
also for Spencer Symmons, whose
remarkable unbeaten record (bar a defeat against
Penarth Rd) has now come to an end after losing
to Kevin Brown (for the second time in 3 weeks in
all competitions.....).
26/02/10...Apologies for the
belated update. Last week in the Thursday
league
leaders Taffs Well won 3-2,
beating Penylan Club 3-2. But 3 teams lie just 3
points adrift of the leaders, Aber &
Senghenydd occupying 2nd place having won more
matches. Potters Bar now lead Thursday
2 on
matches won after a 4-1 win over Uni B in a
rearranged game, and a 5-0 win over Rumney BL.
18/02/09...Savoy drop one place
in the Tuesday League, having walked into the
stuffing that many have expected to come at some
point from Penarth BL. Wayne
Hatton's 49 was a fine effort against Mark
Bennett, but was topped by a 55 by Neil Tomkins,
and a 52 that followed soon after. No massive
breaks at Trecenydd, just a not-so-rapid
turnaraound that saw County put
at least some pressure on Mackintosh, with a 3-2
win from 0-2 down. University may have put the
final nail in Fairwater's hopes of winning the
title again, but they will chase a second place
trophy hard, while Uni now have moved above Savoy
in the table.
11/02/09...A reminder that the opening
rounds of this year's competitions must be played
by the end of February. Results are coming in and
are being added to the website when possible. The
handicaps for Layton Brooks (singles) and
Brooks/Carpenter (doubles) have been amended
11/02/09...The Mackintosh
took advantage of a severely weakened Trec side
to record a rare whitewash win in this year's Tuesday
division,
and extended their lead over the two other title
contenders. Spencer Symmons has
yet to lose a league frame still and leads the player rankings comfortably. Fairwater,
who had a superb win last week, slipped up
against Savoy, while County put themselves back
into second spot with a fine win over Penarth
RBL, a side who have every right to think they
are better than their results show. An honorable
mention also for Kishan Hirani who
followed a fine 40+ break last week with an 81 at
Savoy, the highest of the season in the Tuesday League to
date.
07/02/10...This week saw the
first round of the Thursday Knockout Cup take place. Results and
the draw for the quarter-finals can now be found here.
01/02/10...Details for this year's
Cardiff and District Snooker League Singles and
Doubles Tournaments are now available. They
follow the old monthly format where players have
to arrange their own matches. There are four
competitions being played this year: Cardiff Open, Cardiff Open Pairs, Cardiff Handicap, Cardiff Handicap Pairs. A full drawsheet
can be downloaded here with contact details for
each player or pairing.
Results must be texted to Spencer Symmons on
07717 173362 or emailed to Spencer at cardiffdsl@googlemail.com before the 29th of each
month. Please also email any breaks made.
Appeals: If matches are not
completed within the month an Appeal can be made
by players who have made efforts to arrange
matches without their opponent responding.
Appeals must be made via email only to cardiffdsl@googlemail.com with as much information
as possible on attempts made to arrange the
match. In the event of both players appealing and
the comp secretary being unable to decide who to
put through both players will be scratched from
the tournament.
Full details on competition rules
available here.
01/02/10...Taffs Well remain top of Thursday
1 this
week after a 3-2 win over Canton C. Cathays Cons
remain 3 points adrift after beating Gower A by
the same scoreline. South Wales Snooker also
registered a 3-2 win, against Canton A, as did
Aber & Senghennydd, who beat Penylan Club.
Wellington extended their lead
by a point in Thursday 2 after beating University
B 4-1. Roath Labour in second beat Rumney BL 3-2,
whilst Potters Bar saw off Canton B by the same
score. In the clash of the basement sides,
Trecenydd B edged out Gower B 3-2.
28/01/10...University had the surprise
result of the week in the Tuesday
League,
taking two close and reasonably high quality
black ball frames to sting the leaders and win
3-2 at County. It meant Mack moved level on
points with the leaders, trailing only on
alphabetical order, after a 3-2 win over
Fairwater. Meanwhile, Trec fielded the side
no-one wants to see on the team sheet against
them, and thumped Penarth BL, who may not now be
able to save themselves from a wooden spoon at
the season's end.
24/01/2010...The handicaps for
the Thursday Knockout Cup, which begins next week,
have now been confirmed.
23/01/2010...DON'T FORGET THAT
ENTRIES TO THE SINGLES AND DOUBLES COMPS MUST BE
WITH SPENCER BY TUESDAY 26th!!
23/01/2010...Mackintosh, who could have
led the Tuesday league at the midway point,
became the closest challengers to County,
thanks to a fine win over University, without
perhaps fielding their strongest team.
Fairwater's intial momentum seems to have waned,
and they are no longer the favourites to keep the
title they won at the first attempt last year.
Trecenndd reminded teams that no-one finds it
easy on a visit to the Valleys, and suggested
that they could at least have a large say in who
can win the league, even if nineteen points is
probably too much to make up to win it trtook the
longest winning streak of the season. A longer
list of player rankings is now available here.
18/01/2010...A reminder that you have
just a week left to get in your entries to the 09/10 CDSA singles and
doubles competitions. We have 4 competitions
which are the Handicap Singles and
Doubles (each player given handicap
depending on ability) and the Cardiff
Open Singles and Doubles which are
scratch tournaments. The deadline for entering
all tournments is Midnight on the 26th January
2010 with the draws being made at the Mackintosh
that night. Forms have been posted to all clubs
or you can download copies here, and
entry fees can be posted to Spencer Symmons at 10
Maes Brith Y Garn, Cardiff. CF23 8QE or
alternatively Spencer will be available at the
Mackintosh on January 5th, 19th and 26th from 7pm
to 11pm to accept handed-in forms and fees. All
the tournaments will start from the 1st February
with first round matches to have been completed
by the 29th of each month and results texted or
called through to Spencer Symmons on 07717
173362. Full information on the competitions is here now and will be updated through
the season.
17/01/10...Taffs Well took over
as Thursday Division One leaders this week,
beating South Wales Snooker 3-2. They head the
table by just two points from Cathays Cons, who
have 1 game in hand, and whose match this week
fell victim to the weather. Penylan Club edged a
close encounter with Canton C, taking a 3-2
victory, whilst basement side Gower A picked up
their second win in a row, beating Canton A 3-2.
In Thursday Division Two, Wellington
extended their lead by a point this week, beating
Gower B 4-1 as Roath Labour beat Canton B 3-2.
Potters Bar had another cancellation due to the
weather, leaving them 9 points off the lead, but
with 2 games in hand. Rumney BL were the other
winners this week, beating University B 3-2.
17/01/10...All three matches in
the Tuesday League were postponed due to
the snow - when was the last time a full
programme of snooker was wiped out due to bad
weather? The match sec has made the decision
under this exceptional circumstance to move all
these fixtures to an extra week at the end of the
season, so no need to rearrange now.
