“It’s a brutal sport because you don’t have to do much wrong to lose,” John Higgins said. “Baseball, tennis, golf, you can hit back and rectify things right away. In snooker, if you play a bad shot, you could be sitting in your chair for an hour.”

Я даже не знаю в какой теме запостить. Наверное, здесь. В общем, мой скромный опус на страницах Чемпионат.ру Джон Хиггинс в третий раз покорил чемпионат мира . Не судите строго, про снукер я пишу впервые и очень надеюсь начальство устроит внимание со стороны читателей и в следующем сезоне наш сайт будет чаще уделять внимание снукеру. Это с одной стороны. А с другой стороны, если есть какие-то замечания, я постараюсь в будущем исправиться.

Allen has shown that he is capable of beating the best — after all he ousted last year’s champion O’Sullivan and with a bit of luck could have made the final. The Antrim lad has done himself proud since joining the professional ranks and at only 23, time is very much on his side in his bid to become Northern Ireland’s third world champion. Naturally, O’Sullivan heads the market at 7-2 but such a price could not be entertained as it’s always difficult to know what is in Ronnie’s mind about his future in the game. Better to wait and see if he turns up first.

O'Sullivan can become "unbeatable" despite World Snooker Championship despair

Published Date: 06 May 2009
By Mark Berry
RONNIE O'Sullivan's Yorkshire-based coach has admitted that the world number one was "in bits" after his early exit from the Betfred.com World Snooker Championships but vows that 'The Rocket' will bounce back.
Steve Prest, who is based in Harrogate and runs a snooker academy at St Michael's Snooker Club, in Wakefield, began working with O'Sullivan shortly before the championships got underway at the Crucible Theatre, in Sheffield.

But the reigning champion came unstuck in the second round when he lost 13-11 to Northern Ireland's Mark Allen.

And Prest believes that O'Sullivan's early exit from the tournament was largely down to off-the-table events. He said: "Ronnie didn't really turn up and perform on the day.

"But there was nothing technically wrong with his game. It was purely down to pressure away from the table and Ronnie didn't get the balance right.

"Before the tournament I was totally convinced he would win it but he didn't play anywhere near his best."

Prest added: "Ronnie is in bits about not being world champion. He cares about winning games and his performances, he might say he doesn't but he does."

However, Prest is determined to turn the disappointment into future success. He said: "Working together in Sheffield was a massive learning curve for both of us and things will be done differently next season.

"I now know how to find a balance for Ronnie and if we get that right he will be unbeatable.

"If he had won I probably wouldn't have learned so much. I talked with Ronnie after the tournament and told him what we had both done right and wrong."

Prest was able to take solace in the performances of two more of his players however, and both Neil Robertson and Shaun Murphy enjoyed superb championships.

The two came face to face in an excellent semi-final, in which Rotherham's Murphy triumphed 17-14 to reach the final.

However, he was denied a repeat of his 2005 World Championship success by John Higgins who put in an impressive display to take the crown 18-9.

Prest said: "Shaun was happy to do so well. He got away with making mistakes for a couple of games but he was punished by Higgins.

"Neil was totally exemplary on and off the table and he was a credit to himself."

The WPBSA have held their end-of-season disciplinary hearing.A new rule was brought in over the past coupe of season that prevents a player from conceding a frame before requiring a snooker. Not exactly first degree murder, we hear you cry!

The referee is obliged to report any player for committing such heinous crimes. Although a first offence is dealt with by written warning and second time offenders are dealt with more severely!

So, here is the 2008/09 hall of shame…

Dave Harold - fine £150
Mark Williams - fine £150
Ronnie O'Sullivan - fine £150
Lee Spick - £150 suspended for 12 months; £1,000 costs
Stephen Maguire - fine £150
Robert Milkins - fine £150
David Roe - fine £150
Jin Long - fine £150

Frame concessions (3rd incident)
Jin Long - no finding of breach


In other matters dealt with by the panel, Northen Ireland’s Declan Hughes was fined £500, although £250 is suspended subject to future good conduct and ordered to pay £1000 costs.

Some of you may have seen the Jimmy Michie video on YouTube. Well, the Yorkshire potter was fined £1,000 and also ordered to pay £1,000 costs.

There were also two players that qualified for the 2008/2009 Tour who had outstanding disciplinary matters dating back to 2005. These matters were revisited and the outcome of each hearing was as follows:

Declan Hughes, faced the charge of unacceptable behaviour, but no penalty ordered on this occasion, although there was a reminder given as to future conduct.

Yorkshire’s Kuldesh Johal had failed to appear at a 2005 tournament and although no penalty ordered on this occasion he was given a reminder as to future conduct.

Стив девис посетил клуб.

COMPLAINTS of anti-social behaviour have plummeted after the introduction of cheap snooker nights, police said.

Twice weekly events at Cue Masters, Accrington are drawing crowds of up to 60 youngsters each night, as complaints of youth nuisance is said to be falling dramatically.

The scheme at the Blackburn Road club has also given teenagers the chance to meet snooker legends like Steve Davis, Jimmy White and Cliff Thorburn, since starting in September.

Youth workers have also arranged for visits to the Crucible Theatre, home of the world championships, with backstage passes.

At the club, youngsters pay 50p entry before competing in tournaments and at special snooker games.

The idea comes after Hyndburn’s Young Persons Neighbourhood Operational Team (Y-NOT) teamed up with the Paul Hunter Foundation, a charity aimed at encouraging youngsters to play the sport.

Accrington PCSO Karl Bowers said: “Kids who were starting to have a few problems are now having the time of their lives instead.

“Some even say they would like to take it up professionally.”

PCSO Ian McCarroll added: “Complaints haven’t gone away entirely but they’ve dried up considerably. The kids have also realised we’re not ogres out to spoil their fun, because they get to know us at the snooker.”

Hyndburn Anti Social Behaviour Officer Sharon Burch, who works for Lancashire County Council, said: “Already we have figures which show a 63 per cent drop for Hyndburn youngsters entering the criminal justice system between January and December last year.

"This coincides with the setting up of Y-NOT in April and the start of the snooker scheme in September.

"It has got to the point where reports to us don’t even show anti-social behaviour as a priority.

"It has been incredibly rewarding to work with young people when they have become so enthusiastic so quickly.”

Promotion fight reaching boiling point

THE only outstanding issue in Section B of the RCS Landscapes Intermediate Snooker League is who will join Stamford in the top division next year.

The battle is going to go down to the wire.

Robbie and Richard Bell helped RCS Landscapes B into a 3-1 lead at Huntsman before George Emmitt and Dave Doore pulled a frame back.

Keith and Adam Board then won the final frame to leave RCS three points behind Buddies, who have already completed their fixtures.

The other two teams in the mix met each other as Grimsby Cons A made the short journey to West End B.

Euan Hunter and Cliff Goldsack won both their frames as Cons edged into a 3-1 lead over their rivals.

Needing a draw to keep their promotion bid alive, West End were thankful to Paul King and Dave Dixon who won their frames to leave the promotion race wide open.

After last week's whitewash, Grimsby Police B were determined to salvage some pride and Pete Wood and Pete Jacklin opened up a 2-0 lead over Hainton A.

However, Rob Broughton and Dave Telfer played well as they levelled at 2-2.

Captain Sandy Young led from the front as he and Terry Steel won their frames to give the Police a good 4-2 win.

Also winning 4-2 were Clee Cons C and it was Alby Forster and Ian England who did the damage as they inflicted defeat on Crazy Potters, who were warming-up for a decisive role in the promotion race with their final two fixtures.

Andy Barry, man-of-the-match Neil Morley, Rob Baker and Paul Brett won 2-0 as Express Appliance saw off Westlands C with an emphatic 5-1 win.

Nige Mumby and John Ford were the stars as Westlands D beat Carr Lane Social B 4-2.

Snooker: Leslie cues up another title

BONNYRIGG snooker star Michael Leslie added the Chesser Challenge Trophy to the under-21 and under-19 Scottish national titles he won in Glasgow at the weekend with a 5-2 victory against Falkirk veteran Bob McCabe in the final at the Matchroom at World of Snooker in Chesser.

The 16-year old won the first frame but McCabe used all his experience to take the next two.

McCabe prevented Leslie from getting in to his rhythm but the youngster struck good form in the fourth frame and, despite a brave attempt by McCabe to slow the game down, Leslie went on to clinch the title by winning the last three frames.

His prizewas a cheque for £300 and he also won another £25 as his half-share of the prize for the highest break. That was a 91, equalled by Glasgow's Anthony McGill, who also picked up a cheque for £90 as a beaten semi-finalist.

Eden Sharaf, from Alloa, was the other semi-final loser.

Leslie now goes on to play Robert Carlyle in the semi-final of the Mpact Invitation Series for the top under-21 players in Scotland. The final takes place at the Matchroom on Thursday, May 28, with world champion, John Higgins, the guest of honour.
