2022 HIBSF Home Internationals – Team England

Following cancellations to the championships in 2020 and 2021 due to the coronavirus pandemic, the prestigious Home Internationals return next month and England/The English Partnership for Snooker and Billiards will be sending several squads for the various categories. 

Organised by the Home International Billiards and Snooker Federation (HIBSF), the Home Internationals are steeped in history. This year’s festival of snooker and billiards takes place at the Northern Snooker Centre in Leeds between the 5th-12th August. Other nations invited to the championships are Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, Republic of Ireland, the Isle of Man, Jersey and Guernsey.
