The Heineken Premier players individual league makes a very welcome return after an absence of three years because of the Covid Pandemic having last been played for in 2019 when it was won by Ciarán Teehan.

The opening shots in the Heineken Premier players individual league is pencilled in for Friday November the 4^th, for the round robin series of qualifying games and thats followed on Friday November 18^th, with the knockout stages of this very premier competition.

The competition will carry a minimum prize fund of €1,000 and will be held at the Groves Lounge in Dublin Street Blackpool, more details on this competition can be had at any delegate meeting.
