Women's quarter finals will be on live stream EXCEPT the Sirotina / Jans match. So no live stream for the mens semi finals I guess, as they are due to be played at the same time it appears.

Congratulations to 2012 IBSF World Snooker Champions Muhammad Asif, Wendy Jans and Darren Morgan!

Good to see Asif take up another sport whilst being banned from cricket

Hope Asif doesn't have the same problem HVA did. Can't imagine it being easy to get a visa being Pakistani.
