A Surrey Snooker and Billiards League for clubs within a 15 miles radius of Byfleet.
The league was founded in 1946 as The Byfleet & District Billiards & Snooker League. It has developed into a highly competitive league for players of all standards.
We currently run 3 divisions of Snooker and 2 divisions of Billiards for around 150 registered players.
The Snooker season runs from September and is followed by a season of 14 weeks for Billiards.
Take a look around, we hope you like what you see. Feel free to give us feedback by email to kelvin@byfleetleague.co.uk
Thought of the season:
The most important shot you make is the next one

 IN CASE ANY PREMIER PLAYER IS UNAWARE THE FOLLOWING EMAIL WAS RECENTLY SENT TO ALL PREMIER TEAM CAPTAINS.
November 1, 2024
'Important announcement to all captains of Premier league teams.
POSTPONEMENT OF LEAGUE MATCHES
The current rules for requesting a postponement of a league match are that the first point of contact should be to our match secretary Trevor Connors by text 07947 687930 or via email 'trevor@byfleetleague.co.uk'.
You are required to provide the reasons that you are unable to provide at least two players to play the match.
Subject to Trevor's approval the opposing captain is contacted. The non cancelling captain offers three dates of his choice, not in the same week or on weekends within 28 days (sooner if possible) for the match to be rearranged.
Inability to field your best player(s) or a to have a complete team of three does not constitute grounds for a postponement.
Unfortunately these rules are not always abided by and as a result the committee has put in place the following penalty.
A team that requests and is given permission to postpone a league match will forfeit two frames (points) in the rearranged fixture.
This will be in every case until the end of this snooker season.
At the next AGM a full review will be put forward and voted on.
To avoid any slander or reputation defamation this was instigated by TERRY TEEMAN of Woking Snooker Centre 'A' who had 1 player available for a recent league match and requested a postponement. Being fully aware that his team were at fault he offered, as a gesture of goodwill, the 2 point forfeit.
The committee felt that this was an excellent way forward and hopefully a deterrent to postpone.
As a result this is being adopted with immediate effect until the end of the snooker season.
Since 1946 Byfleet League matches are held on Thursday evenings. If players choose to be unavailable there may be consequences.'
