Great win for Steve.
Hope the draw works in our favour and we get to see him play at one of the matches we have tickets for.

C'mon Matthew Stevens!

(Stevens 8-8 Campbell now.)

i watched him play today and seeing him win has made my weekend.

What were the crowds like Snawaz? Was it a full house?

Yes it was a full house. In fact it was standing room only.

The crowd was fantastic. I had to stand through all the sessions. You see a lot of people with World Snooker stickers on there shirts or jumpers , who I think get in because they either know someone or are affiliated with World Snooker and therefore there were a lot more people there than seats.

Nevertheless it was still a great experience.

Steve looked immaculately dressed, thin and fit and ever the professional. He looked really tasty when he was in the balls. I don't know how far he will get in the championship but he certainly looked good today. :snooker::snooker:

Wonder why Stevens just can't kill-off the match against Campbell...

[Martin76]

Judging by the live scoring there seems to be some major twtching between Stevens and Campbell. 29-21...

[Omehenk]

Come on stevensssssssssssssssssss!!!

[Martin76]

38-break from Campbell, Stevens 30-59 Campbell. How many reds left, if any?

[Martin76]

No reds left apparently as Matthew just potted the yellow...

[Mal]

Stevens needs one snooker - on the green and 27 behind 32-59...

[Martin76]

Campbell pots the green. 62-32. Congrats Marcus. Sorry Matthew. Unless something extraordinary happens...

[HunRon]

Stevens...

[Rane]

ANd he doesn´t. Marcus Campbell is through and no return to top 16 for Stevens.

Again, bit of a surprise that one.

I'll be at the EISS tomorrow and posting updates on my Twitter page, as will Dave Hendon from Snooker Scene so hopefully information will still filter through if the livescores fail.

Think I'm going to watch Trump/Ford, could be a cracker that.

Thanks for the interesting report. Sounds like you had a great day. Are you saying that if I had gone today that I would have been able to watch the match but only in a 'standing room only' capacity? Wouldn't have been a problem - in fact it would would have brought back fond memories of the Irish Masters at Goffs in the 80's.

p.s feeling sad that Stevens didn't join the Nugget - he seems destined to be remembered as an underachiever.
