UK Championship Qualifying Rounds

Jimmy played pretty solid snooker against Gunnell yesterday...he had a 132 total clearance and 7 breaks of +50......lets hope he can play good snooker tomorrow against Perry. It would be nice to see a White-Hendry match once again, and a long format one...

Thanks very much

What site are you on Mal to see the scoring ?

Just from World Snooker:

Wattana - Gould now 2-2 - I think that frame could prove important as Wattana had chances to go 3-1 in front. Could help Gould?

[attilahun]

Cant understand the schedule
Mark Joyce played a marathon match yesterday and defeated Marcus Campbell 9-8 past midnight
on this morning he plays Steve Davis. so unfair

Still he leads Davis 3-1 at MSI...

I would like to see Wattana get past Gould, but I do get the feeling that ultimately Gould will prove too strong for Wattana..

Id love to see a white v hendry first round UK clash, over the best of 19, would be terrific.

[missneworleans]

Yes that would be nice
BTW Hendry played Davis last year

I agree that Gould will probably prevail, but Wattana was a class act and following him on live scoring he still seems to knock in the odd good break - He won the last frame on the pink, though it looks like going 3 apiece now. Hope he can keep it at least level and then you never know tonight.

The winner plays Dott, who I think has got quite a poor record in the UK.

No he didnt
Well if Stephen defeats Jimmy 9-6 it wont be that bad

It was the year before that Gunnell was beat.
Perry has a reasonable record in UK with couple of semis and beating O'Sullivan couple of years ago. He did lose to Ballrun last year though and Jimmy is on decent form.

Meanwhile Steve Davis is struggling at 4-2 down and 61 points behind in 7th frame.

Gould at the table 45-19 in front and look like taking a 4-3 lead. I think Wattana needs to win the next one otherwise Gould could run away with it.

Black ball game in frame eight and Wattana steels it with a colours clearance for 4 apiece. Been a few close frames in this match. Hoping that Wattana can keep it up and edge through tonight - That would only put him up to 71st in provisional list - Even beating dott will keep him about 65th or 66th I think. So he needs to reach the quarter finals though to get into the top 64! Still a good run and at least it puts him in striking distance for top 64 in next revision.

What's happened to www.global-snooker.com? They used to be so on the ball with frame scores and breaks as it happens. Now they are hours behind putting up scores, and don't bother with frame scores.

[Welshsteve]

Joyce looks like going 6-2, Davis needs snookers

[spike]

Even with Steve Davis vast experience it's hard to see him coming back from a 4 frame deficit. Still in saying that i wouldn't put it past him to do so..
