Brief outline of our league:
Blandford & District Pool League is located in North Dorset covering Blandford Forum and the surrounding villages. It stretches from Bere Regis to Sturminster Newton to Iwerne Minster. Past seasons have also included teams from Tollard Royal and Sixpenny Handley close to the Wiltshire border. League matches take place on Tuesday nights starting at 8:30pm. Each team will consist of six players and matches are played using the format of six singles frames followed by three doubles frames. We run a winter league and a summer league with a two to four week break between each season. Each league comprise 8 to 10 teams and the season also includes singles,doubles and team knockout competitions.


 

 HISTORY:

 Blandford and District Pool League started life in the early 1980's as a summer only league and from a small beginning quickly grew to a league of four divisions each containing twelve teams. However, due to various pubs closing and others changing over to food orientated establishments, pool tables slowly began to disappear meaning our league has diminished to only two divisions, (eight teams in Division 1, nine teams in Division 2), (both of which are always keenly contested), and of course a lot of the older players no longer play or do other things, although a few of us "oldies" still try to wield a cue on a Tuesday night!!!
