There are no unbeaten players in Group L, instead four players with 3 wins from 4 - Robert Carlise (Scotland), Tyler Rees (Wales), Jurian Heusdens (Belgium) and Maor Shalom (Israel) - a bit of an aside, I'd fancy all of these players to beat anyone in Group Q, not sure how the seeding for that came about.

Lavery making my comment above look foolish! Still think his group was weak, but obviously he's in good form ...

Mens Last 16 (latest scores)

Good comebacks here from the English players ...

Antony Parsons (England) 5 - 4 Robert Carlisle (Scotland)
Mateusz Baranowski (Poland) 4 - 5 Michael Wild (England)

Michael Collumb (Scotland) 1 - 5 Lukas Kleckers (Germany)
Kristján Helgason (Iceland) 5 - 2 Rune Kampe (Denmark)

Brendan O'Donoghue (Ireland) 1 - 5 Jamie Clarke (Wales)
Brian Cini (Malta) 5 - 1 Jason Peplow (Malta)

Andres Petrov (Estonia) 5 - 4 Declan Lavery (Northern Ireland)
Kacper Filipiak (Poland) 5 - 3 Shachar Ruberg (Israel)

The Quarter Finals has began and already 2-0 up is Malta's Brian Cini against Jamie Clarke from Wales

Great start from German teenager Lukas Kleckers leading experianced Kristján Helgason 1-0

Andres Petrov from Estonia takes a 3-0 lead over former pro Kacper Filipiak

Kristján Helgason has now gone 2-1 up on Lukas Kleckers

Quarter finals latest

Mens (best of 9)
Antony Parsons (England) 3 - 3 Michael Wild (England)

Kristján Helgason (Iceland) 3 - 2 Lukas Kleckers (Germany)

Jamie Clarke (Wales) 3 - 3 Brian Cini (Malta)

Kacper Filipiak (Poland) 0 - 5 Andres Petrov (Estonia)

Ladies (best of 7 I think!)
Daria Sirotina (Russia) 4 - 1 Yana Shut (Belarus)

Diana Stateczny (Germany) 2 - 2 Tatjana Vasiljeva (Latvia)

Anastasia Nechaeva (Russia) 0 - 3 Nastya Toumilovitch (Belarus)

Wendy Jans (Belgium) 4 - 0 Jennifer Zehentner (Germany)

Masters (best of 9)
Elfed Evans (Wales) 1 - 3 Jamie Bodle (England)

Wayne Brown (England) 5 - 1 Yvan Van Velthoven (Belgium)

Joris Maas (Netherlands) 2 - 3 Colin Bingham (Northern Ireland)

Darren Morgan (Wales) 5 - 0 Stephane Ochoiski (France)

Wild up 4-3, Cini up 4-3, Kleckers levels at 3-3

Wild wins, Kleckers goes 4-3 up

Nechaeva pulls one back

Maas wins two in a row, now up 4-3

Clarke/Cini to a decider, Kleckers in and scoring

The two remaining Ladies games somewhat slow, not that surprising as Stateczny and Toumilovitch don't generally break-build, games reliant on (very good) tactical snooker - both with only a single break 30+ all tournament.

Bodle 4-1 up

Kleckers scores 68, Helgason in with 75 on (I think)

Stateczny up 3-2

Bodle wins.

Kleckers wins

Bingham 14 up, 5 colours remain and a tactical game going on

Bingham fouled making it 10 difference, potted green and brown to go 17 up, Maas potted blue pink black to take the frame by a point (and win the match)

Clarke / Cini tight - 45 - 41

Nechaeva pulls another back

Clarke wins

Great result for Lukas.

Kristján Helgason was a tough match

Yes it was, could be a 'coming of age' moment?

What happens with Filipiak, playing well and then ...

Michael Wild the only one of the 4 that has played on tour before.

The 2003/2004 season winning just 2 matches in 9 tournaments both wins in the same tournament the 2003 British open a 5-4 win over Kristján Helgason and a 5-3 win over Munraj Pal

I Hope so we need a more international field but only if they are good enough theres no point having international whipping boys on tour.

Ladies
Daria Sirotina (Russia) 0-4 Wendy Jans (Belgium)

Masters
Jamie Bodle (England) 2-3 Darren Morgan (Wales)

Michael Wild has gone 5-1 up and looks well set to become European Champion for the first time and earn 2 seasons on the main tour

The one match I thought a player would dominate was the Masters, shows what I know, the reverse appears to be the case!
