The Hereford & District Skittle League is set to return for the first time in 18 months, after being cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
There have been a few changes due to a number of teams dropping out, but it will return on 24th September with four divisions.
The return will be a boost for many venues, with Friday trade down recently across the night economy in Hereford in comparison with before the pandemic.
