What do you think will happen in Scotch doubles? The men will still play the same amount of better shots but it will take them 20x longer because there’ll be shots by the women in between.
It would be terrible to watch even if it did make it more even.

Selby wished he was the one coming to the table now.

Hasn’t all been like that, Mink with a good break this afternoon, Kenna has been pretty good with safeties. I imagine they are both bricking themselves in a televised final which they don’t have much experience of.

1 snooker needed for Selby and Kenna. That was a bit careless from Robbo missing the pink and not putting the match to bed.

I was just about to say you feel Selby just couldn’t carry Rebecca that one match further.

Still a chance Selby may not qualify for the Champion of champions then if we have a different winner in the British Open, Hong Kong Masters and Northern Ireland Open.

In the end it caught up with Selby that he had to play with Kenna.

Yes mate, it was surprisingly tense all weekend. Great seeing Robbo and Mink take the title they improved throughout the day.

Nice little weekend tournament that, hopefully they continue it as there were periods of brilliance from the ladies and if they get used to this environment they’ll only improve.

Glad you enjoyed it! Thinking about going next year now (if they do it again - they should) as really liked it.

Given that only £3000 of that has been won in ranking events is there another £17000 guaranteed on top?

I have zero interest in watching 'The Jester', so let's hope so.
Didn't bother with the final but very happy to see that Neil and Mink won.
