That will be a GREAT exhibition. I have done exhibitions with Jimmy and Alex in my time. This will be a classic in Waterford. This could be the last time we see Jimmy and Alex playing, I still look at that 1982 world S'Fianl on DVD, the good old days of snooker.....

Rocket And Whirlwind Trade Maximums

Ronnie O'Sullivan and Jimmy White made 147s in consecutive frames during an exhibition in Ireland.

World Champion O'Sullivan and former UK and Masters winner White were playing in front of 600 people when the rare feat occured.

O'Sullivan had his maximum first, then White repeated the trick in the very next frame.

"The crowd were screaming ‘Ronnie, Ronnie, Ronnie’ and I was as well. Then they were screaming ‘Whirlwind, Whirlwind, Whirlwind’." White told the Sun.

O'Sullivan has made a record nine official 147s, including three at the World Championship. White's only official maximum came at the Crucible in 1992.

Peter Ebdon made 147s in two consecutive frames during an exhibition match against Steve Davis in 2003.
