Snooker-LG Cup

I was watching the match last night between Doherty and White and I thought Ken was out in the final frame. White had an easy blue but he missed and Ken potted the last two balls to win the match.

Ken has Michael Holt in the quarters and if he wins that it looks like he will be playing Williams in the Semi's. Both Ronnie and Higgins have a hard match in the second round with Ronnie-v-Stevens and Higgins-v-Murphy and the winners of both matches play each other in the quarters. I'd say that would be a Higgins-v-Sullivan match and Higgins to win.

anyway, the final looks likely to be O'Sullivan/Higgins-v-Doherty/Williams IMO.

G'won Ken!;)

I only saw the last few balls of the last frame of last nights match. I was sorry I missed what looked like a good match. Jimmy seems to have a bit of form what I saw of him, would be nice to see him do well at the embassy but thats ages off yet. Well done to Ken...

woosaysdan

both of them are playing in Clonmel soon (16th of this month) its going to be great. here

the final frame last night was one of the best I've seen this year for pure entertainment. Kens fluke on the pink was unbelieveable.

In fairness Jimmy Fluked a red to give him a chance to take the frame too .... Ken was out of it , then White lost the run of the white ball and a pressure blue was missed... Ken did well to hold his nerve and sink the final pink in the middle ... Williams is not playing overly well so far but he is still winning pretty easily .. hopefully he will get a better challenge from his next opponent ....

Ken was 20-1 last I saw (yesterday probably lower know)

Thats the way I see it too. It will hopefully be a Higgins vs Doherty final with John Higgins winning.

I predict a very good season foir both of them.

BTW I managed to get 6/1 odds on John Higgins last week for the title.


Also, this is Paddy Power's point of view ATM :

M Williams 5 - 2

R O'Sullivan 4 - 1

J Higgins 9 - 2

K Doherty 5 - 1

M Stevens 14 - 1

C Small 16 - 1

M Fu 16 - 1

Just finished watching the Watana-Williams match which Williams won 5-3. I just can't believe that Watana didn't win he missed a chance to win the 2nd frame with a relatively easy shot and he missed another 3 pots to win frames later on and if he had of took them he would have won 5-1. Williams played really bad and didn't deserve to win but when he hit bad shots he was still always joking, I love his sense of humor.:)

Ronnie's out.

Matthew Stevens played brilliantly to beat him 5-0 & Ronnie didn't even get a chance of scoring.

With Ronnie out & Williams very lucky to beat James Wattana today, it's looking more & more likely to be a Higgins vs Doherty final on sunday.

Doherty has to get past Fu, who aint doing too badly at the moment.

Did anybody see the bit on the new rest designed by an Irishman, Its really cool I was using it last week As the pro in my club is a mate of the designer, Roy. The future is here..........

Yeah, I saw Steve Davis tryin' to use it. I wouldn't mind having a go of it. (Did anyone noticed that he hit one of the reds when removing it ? )

That Holt fella looks like a good player, knocking out both Fu and Stephen Hendry. Although he didn't play too well yesterday so Doherty is hot favourite.

Two very good matches were on last night, the Higgins vs Murphy match had at least one 50 break in each frame & did anyone see the miscue & fluke by John in the Parrott vs Walker match.

Here's the draw:

Chris Small
John Parrott

John Higgins
Matthew Stevens (Should be match of the round)

Michael Holt
Ken Doherty

Ali Carter
Mark Williams
