Was at the qualifiers today at the English institute of sport in Sheffield. Watched Jackson’s maximum. It was superb. He practically ran round the table. A rare bit of Welsh sporting quality - of the Welsh sport that i care about anyway!!Quote:

Certainly was. After 2 out of 2 qualifiers the day before.Quote:

Did you enjoy this? I went to watch some sport myself on Monday but it wasn't up to much. I did see Alex Higgins play once and enjoyed the 9-ball pool when it was in Cardiff but have never really had the urge to go and watch snooker again, even though I've always followed it. Feels like a sport better watched on tv but maybe I've got that wrong.
