The Chairman's & Secretary's Cups are our Season Opening Matches, they feature last year's League Champions facing off agains our Cup Winners.

Chairman's Cup - Premiership Champions vs President's Cup Winners

Secretary's Cup - Championship Champions vs Memorial Cup Winners

(WHERE THE SAME TEAM WINS THE LEAGUE AND CUP, THE 2ND PLACED TEAM IN THE LEAGUE IS SELECTED TO COMPETE, IF THE 2ND PLACED TEAM IN THE LEAGUE IS ALREADY COMPETING THEN IT FALLS TO THE 3RD PLACED TEAM)

These Cups are awarded in recognition of our current Chairman and Secretary and their services to the League.

 

President's & Memorial Cups

Each year a draw is done from all League Teams, the winners of those matches go on to compete in the President's Cup, the remaining teams form the Memorial Cup, The Cups are then re-drawn every Round thereafter.

The President's Cup (Previously known as The Garfin Cup) is awarded in recognition of our honourary President and previous serving Chairman Chris Garfin. Chris played an instrumental part in bringing the Bedford League and Leigh Independent League together - taking on the role of Chairman for the then newly formed Bedford Independent Pool League (which he held for several years) he helped shape the building blocks for what is Leigh & District Independent Pool League, in recognition of his services Chris was awarded the title of Honorary President in 2026.

The Memorial Cup is awarded each year in remembrance of those who unfortunately are not with us to celebrate on presentation evening, each year we ask that if you would like to add a name to the dedication list that you make a member of the committee aware so can help honour their memory.

 

SINGLES & PAIRS KNOCKOUTS

Played across the Season and finishing with the Finals being held on Presentation night our Singles and Pairs Knockouts are open to all that play in the League - all matches are "best of 3" with a single toss determining who breaks.

These Knockouts are a straight draw (Meaning they are drawn out only once and played down from there). For the first few rounds due to numbers, dates are on the Calender, Venues & Fixtures are provided and are given at Delegates Meetings.

Premiership & Championship

Our Premiership & Championship Competitions play out each year and are tightly contested affairs, points are awarded on each match score at a rate of 1 point per frame won (with a maximum 9 points available per match) in the event of a season tie frames for and against tied teams are the decider, where this is equal overall frames for and against are the decider. (Where this is equal - Prizemoney / Cup is then shared)
