THE Barrow Friday League returns to action this week, with nine months of competition ahead.

The Soccer Bar team will be defending two league trophies, having finished as champions at snooker and darts in 2014/15.

The snooker team led by captain Neil Myers, backed up by Steve Redpath, Harry Bateman, Stuart Culbert, Russ Postlethwaite and Matty Hill missed out in the play-offs, however, with British Legion scooping the trophy.

Alf Carruthers, Mike Smith, Alan Eaton and Kevin Quinn will be back for the Legion as they look for more silverware.

Soccer Bar’s darts team of captain Mike Edwards, Mike Fletcher, Stuart Pearson, Kev Culley, Culbert, Denis Plant, John Pearson, Scott Hadwin, Bateman and Postlethwaite will hope to add more to their cabinet as well.

British Legion defend both billiards crowns and Navy Club B and Roose Cons Cons have Welch Don titles they will not want to relinquish.
