The second half of the Bradford & District Sunday School Billiards League season got underway with the turn of the year, with an extra point available in each fixture for aggregate scores over the season's home and away matches.

At Pudsey, both points went to the 2024 winners, while at Princeville, both points went to the teams winning back in October.

The Christmas break seems to have had little negative effect on Pudsey A, who picked up where they left off with a sixth successive win and now lead the table by three points.

Their opponents in this top of the table clash, Bradford Deaf Centre A, remain second but are now only a single point ahead of their colleagues at Deaf Centre B, who picked up a third successive four-point haul.

Princeville D sit on the same number of points as Bradford Deaf Centre B, but unlike their in-form rivals, they seem to be going backwards after leading the table for the first five weeks of the season
