I'd make British Isles players the favourite for each of the remaining matches given players form so far (and ignoring Jones group losses as a 'blip') - the only thing in the favour of the continental Europeans is that most have fought through hard matches - there's been a tendency in the past for the continental players to play really well until in a hard match, and then the 'snooker smarts' of the British Isles players takes over. Still the case I think, but the gap's closing.

Boileau and Sharav going out is a big surprise imo, they were my favourites for the title among with Jamie Clarke.

Clarke's in a decider, but Sergiy Isayenko needs a snooker with only pink and black left EDIT more than one snooker, and Clarke has now won

And Clarke's supposed to be straight on to his Sangsom Six Reds qualifying match with Sharav ... hope it doesn't tire him out for tomorrow

Rodney Goggins is a good player, but just over-powered in this one ...

Shachar Ruberg (Israel) 5 - 3 Rodney Goggins (Ireland)

John Whitty's just been quietly doing his thing, but looking at the string of performances, perhaps shouldn't be surprised he's closing in on the final ... Jennings may mount a comeback though ...
