On 31st May 2026 ran one of our big gradings on the same weekend as our Senior & Veteran competition. The competition and grading format is proving proving popular with a decent entry across. The grading particularly was a strong entry with 94 players taking part. This must make the York grading one of the biggest gradings in the country now.

Big thanks to all the players who entered into the grading in the right spirit. Thankyou to the officials for giving up a full weekend to help the Y & H area put on these events.

Our next multimat grading will be 7th November - get it in the diary! 

Once agrain, registration will be through this website.
