Finals Night Format
• The Finals Night on Friday 21st of April in the Coach Inn commenced at approximately 7:00PM with the Committee present at the venue at 4:30PM to set up. The final match did not finish to 3:00AM, this was also only the 5th frame of a potential 7 frame final, with the following presentation of awards being completed at 3:30AM. I’m sure all members will agree that the night was extremely exhaustive and therefore the format of our annual Finals Night will have to be changed.
• The suggestions that have been discussed previously are:
o Billy Friel Cup and Stevie McTeague Cup played on Thursday night with Open Individual Final and Presentation on Friday night
o Move Finals Night to the May Bank Holiday weekend and play the Billy Friel Cup on Friday night, Stevie McTeague Cup on Saturday night and Open Individual Final on Sunday night (these finals will coincide with the Betfred World Snooker Championship Semi-Finals and Final)
o Keep Finals Night on the second Friday of April and play each final consecutive nights i.e Wednesday/Thursday/Friday or Thursday/Friday/Saturday
