REIGNING champions Bradford No 1 start the defence of their Division One title with a home Yorkshire Inter-District League match against Leeds No1 at Undercliffe Cricket Club on Sunday (7.30pm).

The draw for the Bradford Snooker Singles and Pairs competitions will take place prior to that fixture. Any player wishing to watch should attend the Undercliffe club from 6.45pm. Players wishing to enter must register and pay their fees by Saturday at the latest.

Details of the ties will feature in next week's T&A column and on the Bradford website at www.bsa-cuesports.com, with all the necessary information to be sent out next week.

In Division Two of the Inter-District League, Bradford No 2 host newcomers Ossett No 2 at Cue Gardens, also on Sunday at 7.30pm. The home side will be looking to bounce back to the top section at the first attempt and a good start to the season is vital.
