2016 UK Championship

So Liam won the first frame. Pretty scrappy one in the end but I think this could turn out to be a good match.

Watching on the Eurosport player without (double) commentary

They keep showing the table heater temp gauge of the other table and it indicates 30C. If I remember correctly it should be around 49-50C right? Think MJW just said something about it to the ref...

[DeanH]

It was 40C for a long time only 30 recently, earlier in the week the Eurosport commentators said something about WS trying a lower temp to see if the cushions would react in a more consistent manner. Don't know if that is the real answer though, maybe to save on the 'leccy bill :biggrin:

[daffie]

Ah...cheers Dean

[VillaGuy]

Yeah it sounds like they've put it down to 30C on the request of Williams

[DeanH]

2016 UK Championship

it has been 30C for the whole event

[PatBlock]

That was some shot on the last red from Mags, deserves the frame for that one.

[VillaGuy]

Maguire-Brecel is a close fought game, Maguire snatched that leveller by a point after a gift that shouldn't have been given, that could be the turning point and a shot to the confidence of Brecel

[daffie]

Very close fought on the other table as well...

I'm taping the Mags Brecel match to watch tomorrow morning...Good to hear I've something to look forward to

[PatBlock]

Was that a kick from Mags?

[VillaGuy]

Maguire is starting to look a bit p*ssed off out there, he just looks majorly stressful, lots of tension in the game right now

[VillaGuy]

Brecel is taking the game to Maguire here, what a pink to the middle at the start of the break, 100mph

[daffie]

Sounds like a good match guys!

Liam now 4-3 in front...It's been a very close one this.
