Exciting new Postcode Pool set to come to Bradford soon

Postcode Pool is a new venture aimed at finding the best local players in each area.

For its first event in a series, the competition pitted 30 amateur players up against each other at Yeadon's Midway Pub in LS19.

Tournaments are currently being planned for LS21 and BD10, with further areas being added regularly.

The first tournament was held in LS19 (Image: UGC) The first instalment, starting on Wednesday, May 29, was played across the two tables at the venue.

The event was a mixture of head-to-head games and skill challenges, with the top eight players qualifying for the knockout stages.
