Q School 2012

Will any of the matches be streamed? Particularly would like to see the final qualifying matches!

Quite a few people have asked about streaming but have been met with a brick wall from World Snooker so I'd say it's unlikely unfortunately.

I just hope that there will be a dedicated ref at each table from round 1. That's the minimum the guys deserve. They're playing for a career.

christ yes and if theres no ref at each match chance of having live scoring operational is zero.

ones to look out for

Spot 1 = Sam Harvey/Jamie O'Neill/David Gray/Robbie Williams/Lucky Vatnani/Gary Wilson/Stuart Carrington/Sean O'Sullivan/Paul Davison/Martin O'Donnell/Greg Davis/Alex Taubman/Kuldesh Johal

Spot 2 = Li Hang/James Cahill/Zak Surety/Sam Baird/Kacper Filipiak/Allan Taylor/Lee Page/Justin Astley/Reanne Evans/Ross Muir

Spot 3 = Duane Jones/Phil O'Kane/Rod Lawler/Michael Wasley/Scott Donaldson/Adrian Gunnell/Ian Burns/David Singh/Tony Knowles/Nick Dyson/Ryan Causton/Joel Walker/Gareth Allen/Daniel Wells

Spot 4 = Darren Bond/Christopher Norbury/Sydney Wilson/Lee Spick/Kyren Wilson/Joe Delaney/Chen Zhe/Ben Harrison/Jordan Brown/Mohammed Raoof/Shaun Wilkes/Adam Wicheard/Bobby Cruickshanks

My Favrites for each spot

Spot 1 = Martin O'Donnell
Spot 2 = Sam Baird
Spot 3 = Rod Lawler
Spot 4 = Kyren Wilson

who i want to get it

Spot 1 = Sean O'Sullivan
Spot 2 = Sam Baird
Spot 3 = Gareth Allen
Spot 4 = Ben Harrison

its a twitter thing plus i dont think many that droped off this season deserves his place more than Baird.

So Q School is underway with a Total of 115 Players starting out over 3 Events for only 12 spots on the 2012/2013 and 2013/2014 World Snooker Main Tour meaning 103 players will be disapointed and having to wait 12 months for another crack at their dream.

Jamie O'Neill won the First frame of 2012 Q School as he leads Jeff Cyndy 1-0.

Robbie Williams took the opener off Former Top 16 Player David Gray.

Christopher Koegan 1-1 Mitchell Travis
Adrian Justin Ridley 4-0 Simon Bevs
Jeff Cundy 1-2 Jamie O'Neill
David Gray 1-3 Robbie Williams
Mitchell Mann 2-1 Michael Wild
Gary Wilson 4-0 Matthew Day

go on Robbie, send David Gray back packing off to Thailand again

Stuart Carrington 0-0 Sean O'Sullivan
Jamie Barrett 0-0 Paul Davison
Martin O'Donnell 0-0 Declan Brennan
Greg Davis 0-0 Alex Taubman
James Hill 0-1 Jamie Clark
Andy Marriott 0-1 Kuldesh Johal

Robbie you fat dancer

come on Jimmy Hill

come on Gregory

Looks like Adrian Ridley's good form from the Oceania Championship might be still with him, so maybe another possible winning player in the first section, be interesting to see how he does against the best of the British amateurs.

Just spotted Snooker HQ have an interesting interview with 3 of the Irish players at Q School, Joe Delaney, John Sutton and Josh Boileau:

http://snookerhq.com/2012/05/11/irish-g ... -q-school/

James Cahill 3-0 Zak Surety
Sam Baird 4-0 Kacper Filipiak
Kankan Shamsi 1-1 George Marter
Yin Lun Cheng 1-2 Allan Taylor
Lee Page 3-0 Stephen Groves

Allan Taylor wins 4-1.

James Cahill 4-2 Zak Surety
Sam Baird 4-0 Kacper Filipiak
Kankan Shamsi 2-3 George Marter
Yin Lun Cheng 1-4 Allan Taylor
Lee Page 4-0 Stephen Groves

In the Marter-Shamsi game … has the live scores gone dead? Or is it the players who dropped dead at the table?

Reanne 2-0 down to Ross "The Glove" Muir

Liam Monk 0-3 John Astley
Rhys Clark 3-0 Marc Harman
Nick Jennings 3-0 Charlie Walters
Tom Maxfield 2-2 Ashley Wright
Justin Astley 3-1 Habib Subah
Reanne Evans 0-3 Ross Muir

That's it now, Ross wins 4-0. Liam Monk pulls one back, looked like a century but livescoring didn't show end of break.

Dessie Sheehan 0-4 Vinnie Calabrese
Mark Vincent 1-2 Duane Jones
Rod Lawler 4-1 Ben Jones
Josh Boileau 0-4 Shahbaaz Khan
Stephen Ellis 0-2 Itaro Santos
Michael Wasley 4-1 Jason Devaney

COME ON SANTOS

THIS GUY IS THE REAL DEAL, TRUST ME

Dessie Sheehan 0-4 Vinnie Calabrese
Mark Vincent 2-4 Duane Jones
Rod Lawler 4-1 Ben Jones
Josh Boileau 0-4 Shahbaaz Khan
Stephen Ellis 1-4 Itaro Santos
Michael Wasley 4-1 Jason Devaney

Don't think the two Irish guys did themselves any favours playing the Irish Championship at the weekend (although I suppose if they'd won their matches it might be different - Boileau went down 0-4 to Rodney Goggins and Devaney lost 1-4 to Robert Murphy). Not that Sheehan (who wasn't playing at the weekend) did any better ...

Gaz is currently 2-0 up. I'm off down myself after work to watch Ben's first match.

I thought it's being played in the cubicles behind closed doors?

Well done to Gaz on a nice start, 4-0 against Richard King
