The VBSA Board and Members are very much saddened that Alec Spyrou has had to resign from the position of VBSA Secretary.

Alec has been a tireless worker for both the Board and Members, and his indefatigable energy, and considerable innovative ideas, are sorely missed.

All VBSA Members owe Alec a considerable vote of thanks, and all of us wish Alec every possible success with all of his endeavours, without holding a VBSA Board position.

Congratulations on all your achievements within our Sports, Alec. Very sincere gratitude from all VBSA Members, and all Board Members.

Victoria Masters Snooker Tournament

Venue - Yarraville Club, Melbourne. Starts - Sat 4th March to 5th March

Congratulations to George Spiteri on winning the Vic Masters Snooker Championship 2023

George was the best player on the weekend with not only winning but also got top break with a 84 he had a fight on his hands in the semi with Henry Lau when he went down 2nil but showed how well he was playing to come back and win the next 3 frames to take frame 5 on the black, in the final against Adrian Ridley it was a well fought out final with George playing great snookers and safe play that held Adrian's natural potting game back.

I would like to thank Larry Eforgan and his team of refeeres for doing a great job.

Hope to see you all at our next tournament.
