Whoever dreamt this up should get a bonus. Lots of talk about it - snooker in the news in a positive light.

Well, considering it would be minus the beer I would imagine it would be incredibly dull.

I mean, apart from grabbing a bite inbetween sessions I don't think I'm going to be doing much.

Theres a lot of Talk about it excitement but lets be honest it could fall flat on his bottom if the action is all about the men and the women are just making up the numbers at least one needs to perform and make a massive contribution to their team.

The first game is Ronnie/Reanne vs Judd/On Yee on sat at 1pm!

Needle!!!

He's good at the backstage stuff, just keep him off comms.

Nothing terrible. Just suggested that “the ladies don’t apologise to their partner for missing a pot”, that kind of thing. Sound logic, but it just came across as a bit patronising.

You had to be there.

Yeah, there was a general air of the ‘lady players’ as he called them simply not bucking up too much so the men could score.

Is the playing order fixed or can teams change who plays first for each frame?

Alan implied they could choose each frame.

Yeah and Hendon’s just confirmed that.

Cheers Dave, thanks for reading!

Welcome back Prop

Yeah, great stuff from her.

Interesting that they are allowed to change the playing order each frame.

Intriguing this! A rare opportunity to watch on a big TV also.
