Inter-Club Snooker

Rush finished third in the league in a very tight finish. Dun Laoghaire Gentlemans Club won in a play off with Skerries, with Rush having missed out on the final by two frames. The presenation was held on Saturday 17 April 2010 in the Dun Laoghaire Club which is celebrating their Centenary in 2010. Sutton Lawn Tennis Club won the wooden spoon, an honour that Rush has escaped in the past six years. Congratulations to the team and the team captains Jerry Murtagh and Michael Moore.

Rush SC Snooker team are on the look out for new talent for the 2010/2011 season. Stephen Harford and Peter Warren were both in the running for player of the League and we were the only Club with two players in contention for this award, which went eventually to Tony Byrne in Dun Laoghaire.
