As 2022 approached, week ten saw St Peters play Mossley B, Hyde Club play Staly Vegas and Denton CC play Staly Labour. In the snooker there was a 4-1 win for Mossley B and 3-2 wins for Denton and Staly Vegas.  In the whist there were wins for Hyde Club and St Peters.

After week 10 we had our second management meeting when the forthcoming knockout competitions were discussed and new handicaps set for the third quarter of the league season. 

The third quarter started with week 11 and  saw Mossley B play Staly Vegas and Hyde Club play Staly Labour. The match between Denton CC and St Peters was postponed to a later date. In the snooker league, there was a 4-1 win for Staly Labour and a 3-2 win for Mossley B, which meant that they went to the top of the league with 31 points, but St Peters and Denton CC have a game in hand. In the whist, there was a win for Mossley B. This meant that Mossley joined Denton at the top of the whist league but have played a game more. 

Week 12 produced the first matches of 2022, and St Peters hosted Hyde Club, Staly Vegas played Staly Labour and Denton hosted Mossley B.

In the snooker league there was a 5-0 win for St Peters, while Staly Labour and Denton CC won 3-2.

It is very good to be back again and it has been welcomed by all the clubs involved. The league is competitive, whilst giving the players the opportunity to socialise every Thursday.
