    Breaks of 81, 75, 60 and 51. 95% pot success. Hendry wins 4-1.

    Was watching a bit of the Judge - Cooper match. Cooper not up to much today and 3-0 down.
    Cooper after getting a decent 59 break and 63 -0 up with 83 left.
    Should get 1 back anyway.

    Judge 3-1 up.

    In here in frame 5. Well ahead. Only 2 reds left. 'Mind your work' job from here. Almost over the line. 1 red and colour needed.
    Gets the red, 35 ahead; and same left. OOOOh, misses the brown, and snookers Cooper. Cooper escapes. Not quite over yet.

    Great red from Judge. No colour. Snookers Cooper; who misses yellow, and concedes. Judge advances.

    Anyone know why Darren Morgan is wearing a glove? I know that professional pool players wear them but it's unusual to see a snooker player use one.

    Sorry about that abbreviation there; I meant the lesser events that Eurosport are good enough to show... ITV/ITV4 as well I think.

    Not at all, hadn't come across that before either.

    Ken beats Morgan 4 - 2.

    That was a nice spider shot by Ken in the last frame to finish it off.

    Jimmy and Lines up now.

    Ah, that makes sense. Surprised more players haven't tried it.

    I suppose it's a personal thing.

    I'm very fussy about getting the right feeling at the bridge point. It can't be too slippy or on the opposite end too sticky either. I can't cue confidently if it doesn't feel right, it's a distraction if noting else.

    Happy to see Jimmy White win. His match against Hendry should be interesting.

    Jimmy hovers up Lines, 4 - 1.

    Good to see Jimmy playing well.

    Semi's in the afternoon.

    Final at 7pm.

    Jimmy will bottle it again against Hendry in the Crucible.

    Jimmy's cue action looks like he's screwing nearly every shot. Looks a bit of an awkward stance at times.

    Jimmy makes a 130 to go 3-1 up. Nearly there

    Commentators saying he's working with a coach but his cue action doesn't look as fluid as it used to to me. Kinda seems a bit stabby at times. Working for him so far today though.

    I've noticed that about his cue action watching him live as well. Anyway it seems to work for him, playing well here.

    Stephen bottles it this time, missing the blue twice.

    Jimmy in the final now with either Ken or Judge.

    When did Ken Doherty start this darlin of Dublin nickname?


    Should've stuck with the crafty

    That's a Dennis Taylor issued name if I recall?

    I fancy Crafty, I think he's almost as good as a top 64 player :pac:

    Can't see it priced up yet though, but I reckon Ken be favourite.

    EDIT I See some books have it priced now.
    Better prices available online but PP
    have Jimmy 5/4 & Ken 4/7 (maybe shop prices different; they usually are)
    Best prices Jimmy is 7/5 with a couple,
    and Ken 4/6 with 2 from what I can see.

    Frame 1 looks like it's going to 'Crafty' . 41 ahead , 35 left. Ken pots red, frame over.

    Yea, IF I were a betting man I'd put my money on the darlin too.

    Wasn't expecting the final to be best of 9 with it on the same day as the semi's, which was best of 7.

    Always liked Ken's cadence around the table. Whether he's playing good or bad he just gets on with it.

    Jimmy not at the races at all. 1 good pot the height of it. Ken looking good here to go 3 - 0 up.
    Snookers required stage. Jim probably concede. And does - 'Crafty' up by 3 frames to Nil.
