The Republic of Ireland Ladies Billiards Association was formed in December 2015. During the previous 11 months a number of women were coached by our National Billiards Coach, Aidan Murray, who got these women trained to a standard for competition. This time was well spent as the players really got behind this new initiative and the interest grew with RILBA now having had 28 women who attended and played competitive billiards over the nine years.
Annette Newman from Carlow has dominated the sport to date by winning the inaugural Championship in 2015 and retaining it again in 2016 along with winning all 5 National Billiards titles in between. Annette has recently completed her eight successful season, winning 5 out of 6 National Billiards Ranking titles for 2023. Annette completed a flawless season winning the Inaugural National Billiards League, along with her 8th National Championship title in a row and gaining back the 100 up Billiards Championship. A fantastic Achievement for her.
However Valerie Maloney from Laois along with Christine Carr ,(Kildare) and Jennifer Earle from Dublin have improved greatly in the sport. Stephanie Foley, Joanna Ward and Tina Keogh have been making great progress during the 2023, with Stephanie finishing 2023 season as Intermediate number 1 and retaining her National Intermediate Billiards Championship Title. Jennifer finished the season as Intermediate Billiards number 2 so overall great improvement from all our players. Christine Carr won her first National Amateur Championship event taking the 100 Up Billiards Championship title in 2023
