RIBSA Chairman Jim Leacy thanked all the parents for attending and for supporting their children in competing in RIBSA events throughout the season. He expressed a few points.

  • Urged Parents to become involved in the Association and attend this year’s AGM.
  • Encouraged our Clubs and Regions around the country to run more events in their clubs to encourage more players to start playing locally.
  • Send any Ideas and Complaints to the Committee throughout the season.
  • To encourage members within RIBSA to become coaches in their clubs to spread awareness and their experience to new players in their clubs.

National Coach PJ Nolan said that we have had another amazing season on the table with results and achievements by all our Junior players on the International and National stage despite the low numbers in some events.

PJ and RIBSA hope that the new season will attract new players if we keep on promoting the game within RIBSA and in our Clubs and Regions. RIBSA will hold their 8th National Junior Snooker Developmental Day on Saturday the 15th of June in the Ivy Rooms Snooker Club in Carlow from 11am to 4pm.
