Today marked Ronnie O’Sullivan’s Championship League debut and he made a decent start, winning two matches from four played. He was however soundly beaten by Australia’s Neil Robertson, as well as by Ali Carter and needs to win at least one match if he is to progress to the play-offs I would imagine.

Apologies for the brief update today, have spent most of it stuck driving in the snow so am a bit short on time!
There seems some mixed results in there, with some high quality Snooker being played. Excellent.
Interesting to see Ali Carter beating Ronnie O’Sullivan & also Ronnie O’Sullivan getting beat by Neil Robertson, with the latter pair shaping up against each other in the Masters.
Marco Fu seems to have found some form too.
