Royal London Watches Grand Prix First Round Discussion

[spike]

Gilbert is on 72 and in with a great chance of a 147!

[JiangYu]

Come on! 147!

[JiangYu]

Ah! What a shame

[PaulTheSoave]

The standard of snooker is very mediocre this afternoon. On the other table, must be even worse as they only managed 6 frames till now.

There is a good audience, but they all have fallen asleep it seems.

[spike]

Hopefully tonight's matches will provide a better quality of play. We hope anyway

[dannyd0g]

its been quite exciting stuff though hendry and gilbert

[spike]

Hendry edges past Gilbert in a gripping last frame.

[JiangYu]

Fu and Michie on a Re-Rack

[spike]

Davis and Robertson are 4-4 a piece

[darrus]

Forza Steve Davis!
Robertson is on a break though.

Hendry didn't win the match but rather Gilbert lost it, but still I am glad. Stephen needed this win badly. Hope things will start to look better for him from now.

[JiangYu]

A very close first frame but Michie's snooker has put him a frame up.

[darrus]

Still a decider in Robertson-Davis match.

[João]

Well done Nugget. Just keep going like this and you should be fine by the end of the season.

[PaulTheSoave]

Davis won, but its typical for the state of snooker. If someone goes through with an awful display like that, its tear jerking.

Cant always be back to back centuries, and flawless snooker. The occasional tense and scrappy match can be just as enjoyable. The Hendry Gilbert match was another simillar one....
