OUR HISTORY

Our late friend Connie Falkiewicz who is fondly remembered, certainly started something when in 1972 he arranged a snooker match between the New York Athletic Club and The Old Colony Club Bermuda. The following year he got together with the great World Professional Champion, Ray Reardon and Noel Miller-Cheevers in London and it was at this meeting that the International Snooker League was born.
