2019 World Seniors Championship - The Crucible

buck off Leo Scullion.

Freesports puts up a graphic that says the match has been going for 1 minute.

Didn't Hendry pot the red? Has Leo given the point to Morgan? Scoreboard looks wrong.

I like Virgo and Taylor making this tournament sound like it's something wicked.

Looks like they've fixed it now.

Are you saying it's not wicked? Did you not see the previous match? Snooker of the highest quality...oh wait...no it wasn't.

It's easy to see why Hendry retired.

The standard of this match is shoddy.

Yep, just like the Jimmy match. Only player I've seen playing well is Wattana, who's on next I think.

Hendry 1 Morgan 2 - Morgan had a few good shots in that last frame

Hendry out, not surprising the way he was playing.

They played that England v Ireland team black ball thing from a while ago before the Wattana match started. Some cracking shots from Selby, hope he gets his mojo back.

OK here's a question to test your memory.

In the 1985 World Championship, both semi-finals finished a session early, so the organisers decided to entertain the crowd with an exhibition, which was broadcast on BBC TV.

Question: who were the three players involved?

Reardon and virgo?

and taylor

Robbie Foldvari, Terry Griffiths, and Cliff Thorburn

Wattana through, easily best seniors match I watched today. I think he could go on to win it tomorrow.

Yes, and one other player?

Clue: his appearance in this World Seniors 2019 is his first time back at the one-table set-up in the Crucible since that day in 1985.

Certainly the best player from the sessions I've seen. - Unless White improves from today then I think it could well be a Wattana v Morgan final

Struggling now.
Thorburn?

It was Drago, then a 19-year old amateur and considered a 'prodigy'. He beat Virgo and Reardon in that exhibition.

Such an awesome set of results.

That was the best ive seen Stephen Hendry play in any of the Snooker Legends/Senior events and yet he lost 3-1 to Darren Morgan.


Stephens problem in these events is he misses the one ball that means more mathodical player can bide their time and pick him off.


Hendry's game was built on winning frames in one visit he still trying to do that despratly striving for that consistency.

Stephen just refusing to scrap it out?

plus easy balls hes missing.

His long game looks better than it did when he retired infact

He's trying to play champagne snooker, even at this stage of his career.

When I saw him, it was more like Carbonated Water Snooker.
