Summer League 2023 – Northants Bar Billiards League

Storm clears way to Summer League Crown

The Storm team managed the rare and remarkable feat of retaining their Summer League Crown.

With the Summer League now complete, the Storm secured the title courtesy of a 3-1 away win at The Cock ‘C’ in the penultimate series of fixtures. The form of the team has been outstanding throughout the summer and bodes well for the Winter League – upon which they can look with optimism. However, they are short of manpower and so an additional playing member of the team would be a fantastic addition. If you’re interested in being part of a social, committed and high quality team do reach out via this site! Well done Storm – Summer League Champions 2023!!
