About
The Fleetwood Pool League has been running for 25 years. During this time there have been numerous teams and players involved. The league currently consists of 16 teams, which is probably the highest number of teams the league has had in any one season. The last several years has seen several teams from outside Fleetwood enter the league, most notably teams from The Gardeners Arms. As such the League has proudly adopted the title of Fleetwood and District Pool League.
The League is run on a Tuesday night and the season consists of 2 divisions and every team in the division will play against each other home and away, with two points being awarded for a win. The top two teams from Division 2 will be promoted to Division 1. The bottom two teams from Division 1 will be demoted to Division 2. Singles and Doubles knockout competitions take part on a Sunday night and starts just after half way through a season. There is a team knockout competition and it is now played during the season on a Tuesday Night and the final will be the following Tuesday after all league fixtures are complete. New for Season 10/11 is a Speed Pool Competition, 2 representatives to be put forward from each team, this will take place at the end of the season.
