2023 Home Internationals – Team England Announced

The English Partnership for Snooker and Billiards is delighted to announce the players who will represent England during the 2023 Home Internationals Billiards and Snooker Federation Championships which are set to take place at the Northern Snooker Centre in Leeds between August 4-11.
