Lennons SC ‘C’ 307-231 Clowne Lib ‘A’
Last week, there was speculation about whether 10-year-old Oliver Boden of Lennons SC was the youngest player ever to compete in the Chesterfield & District Snooker League. Thanks to our resident statistician, Ian Rose, we now know that the title actually belongs to Jason Wilkes of Poolsbrook, who was just 9 years old when he played—and won—back in the 2001/02 season. A big thank you to Ian for uncovering this piece of league history!
Have a great week, until next time.
