Isn't Cahill actually related to Hendry not sure if blood related though so looks might just be a coincidence.
He is the fruit of Hendry's loins.

Great session from Robbo with moments of brilliance. 1-3 for Lines.

Lines should have got his wish granted and drawn Ronnie... the way Ron played yesterday Lines would have been lucky to pot a ball
Of course Robbo is an easier draw, duh!
espeially the way he's been of late...

Lines 4-3 up
Jamie Curtis-Barrett has come from 0-4 to 3-4 against Joe Perry
Decider alert between Thepchaiya un Nooh & Liam Highfield
And Angles back on against Michael Wild, and has just forced the decider here too...

I can see Lines beating Robbo, unless he starts bottling it or Robbo really up his game and puts pressure on Lines.
If neither of these 2 scenarios happen, Lines should really beat him.

Excellent stuff from Robertson and Lines extends his lead to 3-5.

Only a bottlejob will save Robertson now as he seems incapable of raising his game.

5-3 to Lines
It'll be intriguing to find out who (if any) was the last defending champion to exit the competition prior to the TV stages.
Should Lines win of course

Wow Robertson was really bad, it's been a long time since I've seen him struggle so badly for multiple tournaments

Worrying sings for Robbo. And he's in his mid 30's now. Hope for him, that he isn't one of the early decliners.

His long potting was way off, which has been his main strength

And in that I'm discounting the fact that O'Sullivan didn't defend his title last year or that he conceded his first match of the 1998 UK Championship defence.
Judd Trump, Mark Williams and Matthew Stevens have all been defeated in their first match of a UK Championship defence in the past decade and a half. They used to hold over four Last 32 matches when 48 players competed at the venue so presumably if it has happened it'll have come during the era when the BBC TV stages started at the Last 16 or third round matches.

Yep, he's Uncle Stephen. His sister's lad, I believe.
He's the son of Hendry's (former) wife's sister. So there's no blood relation.

A player of his quality.. wasn't expecting this kind of downfall from him since this title 12 months ago... even in the Riga Masters he wasn't too convincing...
GJ..
