A POOL competition is to take place at the Albion Snooker Club on Saturday in memory of a Kendal man who died five years after undergoing a double lung transplant.

Alan Leacock, who died aged 46, was a successful snooker player and following his transplants, came out on top in the sport at the British Transplant Games in 2014.

He passed away last July and his friends and family have now set up the Alan Leacock Memorial Shield to remember him and support causes he was dedicated to backing. Contact the Albion Snooker Club on 01539 735848 for more details or to register.
