Snooker & Billiards Ireland Under 21 Team of Ronan McGuirk, Ben Du Bois, Josh O Connor and Jack Becher won the 2025 HIBSF Home Internationals Cup in the Northern Snooker Centre in Leeds.
This event shield was sponsored by PJ Nolan’s 147Academy and PJ had also the honour to present our team captain Ronan McGuirk with the perpetual shield. In the final Team Ireland beat Wales in an exciting final 7 frames to 3. Team Ireland U-21 A team beat our Irish U-21 B Team in the semi-finals.
National Coach
National Coach PJ Nolan was delighted with this U-21 victory and said we had two players playing in their first International event and to come out as Champions in the 21’s Cup, Runner Up in the 16’s Cup and third place in the U-16 HIBSF Championships which bodes well for the overall development of the junior game here in Ireland.
