Yesterday evening the Snooker Legends roadshow rolled into Scunthorpe and being local to the event, I popped down to the venue to watch Ronnie O’Sullivan and Jimmy White in action.
As it would turn out, the night proved to be far more memorable than even I had envisaged as O’Sullivan brought the crowd to their feet with a magical maximum break…
Snooker Legends are delighted to announce a deal with Dafabet that will see the betting company becoming a tour partner for the upcoming tour featuring five times world champion Ronnie O’Sullivan.
Tonight sees a snooker fun night for referee Leo Scullion take place in Scotland and to make sure that everyone is royally entertained the organisers are looking for as many players as possible to attend and participate.
The event takes place the Holiday Inn in East Kilbride and gets underway at 7:30pm tonight, with players including Peter Ebdon, Anthony McGill, Jamie Burnett and Rhys Clark already set to attend, along with referees Olivier Marteel, Eirian Williams, Pete Williamson and of course Leo himself.
All tickets are sold out for the evening, but if any players are available to attend the event and participate in the activities, which may include auctions, raffles and potentially matches against other players and members of the audience, I know that this would be much hugely appreciated.
If anyone is available, please contact either me on Twitter, by email at prosnookerblog@gmail.com, or alternatively WPBSA Chairman Jason Ferguson and we will put you in touch with the organisers
With Ronnie O’Sullivan defeating Barry Hawkins with a session to spare yesterday, in place of the afternoon session on semi-final Saturday at the Crucible today was an exhibition between former world champions Stephen Hendry and Ken Doherty.
With Dennis Taylor also chipping in, with his usual, but still entertaining repertoire of jokes and stories, it made for an entertaining substitute to the planned action and you can view photos from the event by clicking below…
For what it is worth, Doherty won the match 3-2.
