Snooker updates

Well done Mark Allen, i actually won a snooker handicap tourney last year when i was semi drunk. Ex had left me the week before and i had the mother of all benders, next day a couple of warm up frames with my mate and i couldn't pot a ball. I went on to say i'll probably win it now knowing me, was on fire all day knocking all the long ones in and doing what i had to whether starting 21 ahead or 21 behind, although still people thought i was a bandit but i played surprisingly well considering and carried on drinking throughout the day.

The Masters
Round 1
Result

Ronnie O'Sullivan 6-2 Stuart Bingham

@johnnybev1987 how was it, whats the atmosphere like now they have music in between frames and are u at the evening session as well

Was really good thanks mate, enjoyed it. Not alot of room if you are 6ft + which all me and my 3 mates are but still was good atmosphere, get to see my numero uno Ronnie.

Mixed match from Ronnie he wasn't really firing (although he ended up getting a couple centuries), the first frame he gave away 6 fouls (possibly 7) where he was getting out of a snooker and trying to clip the red to come back up to the balk line, old Ronnie would have probably give up then and gone home but he dug in and played some good stuff. The only frame i missed was the 137 as i went to the bar with my mate

Really enjoyed it and had a good day out, a few beverages before and after, enjoyed the respotted black frame at the end although didnt understand why Ronnie didnt play the snooker on the last red.

Was it just the afternoon session u did @johnnybev1987 or were u there for Ding v Lisowski as well

Just the afternoon session mate, was more than enough. I was tired anyway so with the lights sometimes i felt like my eyes were going. Watched some of the latter match in the pub and footy and Jack threw most frames away, although there was an interesting exchange with pink and black which lasted probably 15-20 mins (again he should have won)

Didnt update these yesterday as its been a busy week(court on friday)

The Masters
Round 1
Results

Neil Robertson 6-3 Mark Williams
Barry Hawkins 6-2 Shaun Murphy


Interesting that the 1st 2 matches went to final frame deciders and the 4 since then have been
6-2
6-1
6-3
6-2

Think Wilson v Trump today could go all the way to a decider

Good luck on Friday, Paulie
