Career
In the period from 1937 to 1940 Kennerley enjoyed considerable success as an amateur in both billiards and snooker. In 1938 he travelled to Melbourne and was runner-up in the Empire Amateur Billiards Championship, losing to Bob Marshall. After World World War II, Kennerley became a professional.
He played in the World Snooker Championship most years from 1946 until 1957 when the Championship lapsed.
With the revival of snooker, he played in the first three series of Pot Black from 1969 to 1971. He continued to play occasionally in professional snooker events, making his last appearance in a major event in the 1982 Bass and Golden Leisure Classic at the age of 68.
