There is plenty of Blackball Pool for everyone in the NIPA 2015/2016 season calendar of events. We have a new Tour for Under 15s/18s/23s, along with old favourites like our Interleague and Willie Lucas Super 7s events. Our Individual Championships for all categories will be on a similar style like last year, this time the venue will be the magnificent Lodge Hotel, Coleraine where we will have 21 tables supplied by BAIZECRAFT. All this along with the EBA Nations Cup, the EBA European Championships and your local League programmes should make it a fantastic season on the green baize. Looking further ahead don't forget the 2016 EBA Nations Cup is coming back to Coleraine at the end of 2016 and we await news soon of the venue for the Blackball International World Championships also towards the end of 2016. Details of our competitions and how to enter to follow soon.
