IOM Snooker & Billiards President passes away
Tributes have been pouring in following the death of Isle of Man Snooker and Billiards President Roy Gelling.
A minute’s silence was held before the latest league matches for Mr Gelling who's been described as 'a true gentleman who was not only a legend in Manx cuesports, but in so many facets of Manx life.'
A post on the Isle of Man Snooker and Billiards Facebook page says:
'Roy’s run of not missing a single match for Malew in 65 years, showing his commitment to the game will surely never be broken.
When he did have to eventually lay down his cue, he followed matches closely, came to watch finals and never missed a prize presentation night.
Roy, was also a generous sponsor of the island championship for many years and will be sadly missed by all.'
