The Billiards and Snooker Association of Sri Lanka (BSASL) has finalized all arrangements to conduct the Junior National Snooker Championship which is scheduled to get underway at the Otters AC billiards table from Sunday (2).

This will be the first tournament for the year 2017 that the BSASL will be conducting which will go on for seven days with the final slotted to be played on April 9.

The championship will see the participation over 45 young cueists representing eight cue playing clubs around Sri Lanka.
