Interclub Competitions

In 2006 we have 8 snooker teams competing in the Queensland Billiards and Snooker Association Interclub Competition made up of:

One "Phonestar" Premiership League
One A Grade Team
Three B Grade Teams
One C Grade Team
One D Grade Team
One E Grade Team

And for the Interclub Billiards Competition in 2005 we had
One A Grade Team
One B Grade Team
One C Grade Team
One D Grade Team

Results

We have had great success over the years as is evident from the array of pennants the Club has won and proudly display in the Snooker Room.

In 2003 we achieved 2 Premierships in A Grade and B Grade Snooker, a Minor Premiership in C Grade Snooker and out of our 8 Snooker Teams only one finished out of the finals. In Billiards our B Grade team won the premiership. As a result our Snooker Club was awarded the "Club of the Year Trophy"
