🟡 RIP Byron Mitchell ❤️

It is with great sadness that the Telford Snooker League has learned of the passing of Byron Mitchell.

Byron was a talented young player who was well known around the local snooker scene. He was a regular at the old Little Dawley Snooker Club and represented teams in the Telford Snooker League for many years.

One of Byron's finest achievements came in 2000, when he was crowned the Telford Snooker League Under-21 Champion, highlighting the talent and potential he possessed from a young age.

Everyone who knew Byron will remember his passion for the game and the friendships he made within the league over the years. He will be sadly missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing him.

🟡 RIP Joe Oliver ❤️

Everyone at the Telford Snooker League was deeply saddened to hear of the passing of long-serving league player Joe Oliver.

Joe represented Maddocks for over five decades, making him one of the league's longest-serving and most respected players. He was renowned as a tough one-frame competitor who, on his day, was capable of beating anyone. His determination, sportsmanship and love for the game earned him the respect of players across the league.

Sadly, Joe became ill and fought his illness with great courage over the past year. He will be greatly missed by everyone who had the pleasure of knowing him, both on and off the baize.

RIP Alan Turner

Everyone connected with the Telford Snooker League was deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Alan Turner.

Alan was involved in the Telford Snooker League from the very beginning and was one of the true characters and gentlemen of the local game. He was an ex-Shropshire finalist, a former Telford Individual Champion, and many will also remember Alan for running the old Wellington Billiard Hall, which played such a huge part in local snooker over the years.

Alan also served the league as both Chairman and President and dedicated countless hours to helping and supporting local snooker.

On a personal note, when the current committee took over three years ago, Alan was extremely helpful during that changing of the guard and offered a great deal of support and advice. That help was very much appreciated and will never be forgotten.

Alan will be sadly missed by everyone connected with the Telford Snooker League and the wider snooker community.

Our thoughts are with Alan’s family and friends at this difficult time.

Funeral details and donation information will be added once confirmed.

Rest in peace Alan. ❤️
