We're delighted to confirm sponsorship of  Dalton Lawrence  for the WDBS British Open at Woking Snooker Centre ;  12-14 Jan 2024

WE RECENTLY INTERVIEWED DALTON ; YOU CAN WATCH THAT INTERVIEW HERE 

Daltons' Bio, in his own words:

 I  started playing pool in a local pub from the age of 16, and after   reaching quite a high level, I wanted a challenge! I joined the Green   Baize Snooker Club in Horsham in 1984, and became a member of the Green   Baize “A” team until 2003. In this time we won the premier league many   times, and my greatest achievement was to become Horsham champion in   2002. I also had my best ever season having compiling some century  breaks .

I stopped playing for a  few years due to family and work! …I missed the  sport very much, and  decided to join the Woking Snooker Centre after  moving to Guildford when  I met my soul mate and life partner, on a  blind date. I then met John  Monckton at the club, and joined as a  league player in the Byfleet  snooker league. Now still playing in this  league 10 years on!

Unfortunately  in 2011, I had a  massive shock to the system when two discs in my neck  completely  prolapsed, and much damage was done to the nerves in my neck,  shoulders  and arms, creating some paralysis down into my arms and  hands! I had a  double discectomy in my neck in 2012 which turned my life  completely  round causing me unable to play snooker like I used to! I  can’t look up  very far now, which means I can’t get down on to my cue to  see.
 

In 2023 I became  aware of the  World Disability Billiards and Snooker. I applied and was  accepted into  group 5, and competed in my first WDBS championship in  Belgium March  2023. I felt accepted immediately, and have made some  really good  friends along the way. To my amazement, I won the tournament  on my  first attempt. Unfortunately I missed the next tournament in Hull  due  to my father passing away, but attended the next tournament in  Carlow,  Ireland. I won this won too.

In September 2023 we went to Northampton for the next tournament, this time coming runner up.

In  October we went to Germany for the next tournament. My partner Ro  came  to this one too, which was fantastic. Again came runner up! I’m   currently number 3 in my group which in my first year is fantastic!
 

I  can’t wait for the next  tournament which is the WDBS British Open in my  home club, Woking  Snooker Centre in January 2024! Bring it on! 

GOOD LUCK DALTON !!

Daves' Bio, in his own words:

I  currently play in two local leagues in Somerset where I live (having  originally been born and raised in Horley, Surrey). I play for Ilminster  Bowling & Tennis Club in The Yeovil & District League and out  of Somerton Sports Club in The Wells & District League. 

I  initially started playing pool as a child and was fortunate enough to  play for my County at youth level. I then drifted out of competitive  pool and only played socially.

In  2010 I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis and medically retired from  my job. This also cost me my hobby as a football referee.

During  COVID I became aware of World Disability Billiards and Snooker. As such  I began to play snooker at a social level with a view to getting  involved with them. Since 2022 I have been playing in their tournaments  with my best results so far being three quarter final appearances out of  seven entered.

In  the coming season as well as WDBS tournaments and league competitions, I  will be entering Somerset County and Cuestars events. My game is  improving the more I play and I am hopeful for improvements in my  results moving forward. I would like to thank Terry and all at Snookerz  for their sponsorship and endeavour in improving grassroots snooker. Most recently, I reached the final of the 2024 Belgian Open (Gp5)

GOOD LUCK DAVE !!

We're delighted to confirm sponsorship of  Phil O'Kane  for the WSF 2024 Championships in Albania ; 29 Jan to 11 Feb , 2024

Phils' Bio, in his own words:

    Hi,  my name is Phil O’Kane and I’m 31 years of age. I’m currently playing  on the English amateur im tour and q tour, I’m sitting in 7th place on  the England amateur with top 4 getting a space in the Europeans which is  my target for this season. I’ve been in and around snooker for a while,  playing on tv numerous times and in ranking events against the worlds  best. 

Due to personal and family reasons I had to give up for a few  years but being a lot more settled in life I think this is what I needed  to progress to the next level. 

I’ve relocated to Derby and the club  (cueball) have helped me a lot. Even installing my table and helping me  have the perfect practice facilities. This year I have seen a drastic  change, with my preparation and lifestyle and seen a big improvement  with my results and standard. With the help of this sponsorship and  support, who knows what could happen and let’s hope it’s a start to a  successful road ahead for both party’s.  

GOOD LUCK PHIL !!

Lukes' Bio, in his own words:

 I'm now 22 and have been playing since I was 13 I play everyday and my  main ambition is to get on the main tour and make a career out of the  game I was an English u16 finalist in my first year playing tournaments  and also finished top 10 on the top English junior tour 3 or 4 years on  the trot. 

I've played in European championships and I'm the youngest  norwich champion ever as well as the youngest Norfolk champion ever,

GOOD LUCK LUKE !!

We're delighted to confirm sponsorship of  John Donovan  for the WSF 2024 Championships in Albania ; 29 Jan to 11 Feb , 2024

Johns' Bio, in his own words:

    At the age of 6 I started playing pool at local pubs and received many compliments. I then went to a snooker club and enjoyed playing and went around once a month as I also went bowling, badminton and karate on Saturdays, however I dreamt of being a pro snooker player when I was older, after a couple years I started playing once a week.

At the age of 10 I started going to John Woods' junior club, got coaching sessions and gradually built up the time I played snooker.

I started going into national tournaments at the age of 12 and won 3/3 cuestars bronze tour tournaments, qualified for the last 16 of the English under 14s championship and earned promotion to the cuestars silver tour which I got to a few finals and also went very deep into many national championships. I then won the tour a couple seasons after including 4 tournament wins in a row.

In my first season after being promoted to the cuestars gold tour I finished 3rd in the rankings. I am currently ranked number 1 on the tour and enter pro ams which I am regularly winning a couple matches in.

I am also the record holder for the highest break in a Gone2Pot ranking tournament (116), the most ranking tournament wins, the most ranking titles and many more which includes the best juniors in London.

GOOD LUCK JOHN !!

We're delighted to confirm sponsorship of Dylan Smith at the above event. Dylan recently posted an article HERE , in which he says:  

 "At age 11 I was the youngest winner of both the Kent Snooker Association  (KCBSA) Under 16s and Under 21s trophies in the same year, which I  believe was a record in Kent. I’ve been competing from age 10 and was  lucky enough to represent England in 2022 in the Home Internationals  (HIBSF), coming 2nd place in the overall player stats for Under 16s. And  in 2023 I was selected to represent England in Malta for the European  Snooker Association (EBSA) in both the Under 16s and Under 18s  categories. I also appeared for England later that year at the Home  Internationals once again, this time managing to win the Best Team prize  for England A Team and to take 1st place in the individual player stats  for Under 16s" 

GOOD LUCK DYLAN !!
