Home Internationals 2012

Hopefully the teams for the 2012 Home International Series will be published before the end of July, however it may be the first week in August before these are finalised.

The teams will be selected from the season ending top 16 rankings, however with some players declining to take their place there is a real opportunity for new un-tested talent to emerge into the international arena, at Pontins this season.

Having said that, if there is anybody interested that are currently outside the top 16, please contact the senior tournament secretary before the end of July to state your case, there is a real opportunity to compete at a National event and represent Northern Ireland, take the chance.

NIBSA confirms interest in hosting the 2012 European Snooker Championships

The Northern Ireland Billiards & Snooker Association can confirm our interest in hosting the 2012 European Snooker Championships. With 11 months to go until the event, work is already underway to investigate the posibility of bringing this prestigious tournament to Northern Ireland for the first time, in what will be a very special year for the city of Belfast.

With three other European countries having confirmed their interest already (Israel, Latvia, Germany) the organisers are under no illusion the difficulty faced in bringing an event of this stature to Belfast and Northern Ireland, in the centenary of the launch of the Titanic.
