The ‘B’ team posted an impressive 7-0 win at Reddish WMC ‘B’, thanks to Tanveer Hussain, Khalid Mahmood, Nasser Khan, Kamran Saeed and Naveed Mohammed.




Blue ‘B’ set their sights on title glory



BLUE Club ‘B’ staked their claim for the Oldham Amateur Snooker League title with a 4-2 win over CBC.



It was a case of after the Lord Mayor’s Show for Blue Club ‘A’ who, after whitewashing Moss Inn ‘C’, lost 6-0 at St Paul’s.

Despite being held to a 3-3 draw at Little Cot ‘A’, Springbank ‘B’ hold sway at the top of the table.

Stanley Road top the cards division, but Nimble Nook are hot on their heels with a game in hand.
