Tuesday 25th ~ Saturday 29th of March at the Guild Hall Preston

The 4th staging of the PTC Grand Finals comes to England and the Guild Hall Preston.

Shaun Murphy was the inaugral champion back in 2011 and has not played in the tournament since but hes there this year and a tasty Last 32 Match with Neil Robertson.

Ding Junhui will be defending the title he won last year at the Bailey Allen Hall in Galway, Ireland. But there will be tough competition in his defense from No 1 Seeded in the PTC Series Mark Allen, Former 4 times champion of the World John Higgins, twice World Champion Mark Williams, 2005 World Champion Shaun Murphy, 2010 World Champion Neil Robertson and Former UK Champions Stephen Maguire, Mark Selby and Judd Trump. Also there this year for the First time after withdrawing in 2012 is the current World Champion Ronnie O'Sullivan.

So since we'll have 2 matches going on each session until the Last 16 round ends will both tables be televised? Or will they only show the one table they consider to be the better TV match?

I guess it's the latter :roll:

Anyway, which matches you find more interesting?

The match of the round obviosuly Robbo v Murphy, and despite Murphy's recent win in Haikou I think Robbo will get the better of him here, he's kinda of been Robbo's bunny <laugh>

Other interesting matches:

Ding v Woolaston
Mags v Hawkins
Bingo v Day
Perry v Mavis :|
And Ronnie v Donaldson :-D

Mags V Hawkins. Two great players that could nave been world Champions, think Mags is a bit more likely because he'll eyebrow, pout and cue stamp his way to supremacy. :-)

They still can be World Champs, and I would definately give more of a chance for Hawkins to do so than Mags... sory but Mags temperament plus his inconsistency to maintain top form over long frame formats such as the Crucible won't see him World Champ.

He wasn't World Champ in 2007, by far his best ever chance to do so, so he'll never be crowned with that title.

I don't think I realised it ended on Saturday and not Sunday. Actually, I probably did and forgot because I have trouble remembering anything these days.

With Sunday being Mother's Day, I wouldn't have been able to watch much that day any way.

No, I get that. <laugh> That's why it was originally meant to be held in Asia.

I think I just hadn't given this tournament, or The China Open, much thought in recent times. So when I was browsing this thread, I was like; "Oh yeah! It ends on Saturday."

Wild will be playing. :-D


He wouldn't want to show the rest of them up.




Absolutely SnookerFan,Wilds highest break of 25 would indeed be good enough to compete with the current crop.
I,m sure his safety department of the game is also of good standard,he,s also been watching,playing snooker for many,many years,he,d have todays crop tied up in knots. :-D

Not seen it. I may watch it if I happen to be channel surfing and notice it's on, otherwise I'm not fussed.

I can hear him talk marmite in post-match interviews, I don't need a whole series of shows dedicated to it.




Muppet will be on in a minute to tell me he feels the same way about me. <laugh>
