As is often the case , yesterdays winner Michael Smith is doing well again today
Was 5-0 against Damon Heta heavy heavy scoring before winning 6-3
Jose de Sousa and Gabriel Clemens also catching the eye with high scoring

Smith ended up winning Day Two. Great two days for him as he's possibly going to fall down the rankings a bit since he's defending so much money at the worlds.

He's played great in fairness
Standard is unbelievable

I would have him as one of the top players in he world now. Must be a good bet to win the grandslam and the worlds now

If Keane Barry has another couple of good runs or makes a final he would be in the top64 players championship order of Merit. Would he be allowed play at the players championship finals without having a tour card ?

Kingp35

Yeah he would be allowed play. Scot Mitchell doesn't have a tour card and he currently occupies the 64th spot at the PC.

US2

3 first round wins for the Irish so far. Just waiting on Lennon now the clean sweep

Keane one of only 2 players to average over 100 in first round

SketchyPrince

Willie O'Connor beats James Wilson.

Two random musings:
1. I must say, James Wilson has really fallen down the rankings. Pretty sure he was around the top 32 not too long ago.

2. James Wilson and Steve West, I swear I never hear about them from one end of the year to the next (unless it I get notified that one of the Irish lads is playing them). Is it just me?

US2

Looking at the draw, you'd have to think of Connor is the only one with a hope in round 2.

Why do they give Brendan Dolan the Union Jack when he'd consider himself Irish Republican, and they give Gavin Carlin the tricolor but he sees himself as British

You would wonder is someone on the wind up.

Kingp35

Admittedly a very tough draw but Adrian Lewis out in R1 again losing to Damon Heta.

Another surprise is the fact that Devon Peterson has been beaten first round on all three days so far.

Steve Lennon lost his R1 match 6-2.

Kingp35

Both Keane Barry and Willie O'Connor through to the L32. Willie with a great 6-5 win over Wade with a 128 checkout to win it.

Ciaran Teehan was 5-2 up in his match but lost 6-5.

US2

Barry was unlucky against Clayton. Was 4-3 up and average over 100.

They would both be pretty regular at the euro tour events - at least last year they were anyway
Steve West got to the quarters of the Euro Chamos a few weeks ago, haven't seen Wilson for a while

US2

Yes! Willie beats Clayton with a ton average. Last 8 now

Dillonb3

Ryan Searle will play William O'Connor in Q8, winner of that will meet Price or Bunting in semi

Porthallian

Willie into the semi. He plays Price.
Hopefully revenge for Willie from that R2 match in last year's World Championship.

US2

Another dirty draw for Adrian Lewis. He plays Whitlock

US2

Keane Barry plays Aspinal first round

Deeper Blue

I see Barney saying he's "a different guy" and that he "has the hunger back" ahead of his comeback

I predict that he'll be back to the usual head shaking within a month

Come on ritchie the prince of wales burnett

Kingp35

Richie's scoring has been incredible all week so far, he is truly awful on the doubles though. He is honestly scoring as good as anyone, if he could find a double he'd be flying. 3-2 down to McG at the moment despite outscoring him.
