Road To Telford

So today is the start of the Final Qualifying Round for the UK Championships. A chance for the Non-Top 16 players to get on BBC. There are plenty of exciting matches today and tomorrow for you to watch on Live Scoring. Here are the picks:

Today:

Ken Doherty v Liu Chuang

Young v Old as Chuang tries to qualify for his second ranking event in two years. Doherty has struggled this season but should be able to get past the Chinese Teenager.

Dominic Dale v Martin Gould 

Dominic has struggled this season and failed to qualify for the last BBC tournament. He faces Martin Gould hoping to play on TV for the first time.

Tomorrow:

Matthew Stevens v Marcus Campbell

Stevens will be hoping to get back onto TV after reaching the Final of Bahrain. To do that he will have to beat Mr Journeyman, Marcus Campbell, who hit the only maximum in the Bahrain Champs

Michael Judge v Judd Trump

Trump showed BBC viewers his enormous potential at the Grand Prix and will want to show them even more at Telford. His match is tricky as he only just beat Jin Long 9-8 in the last round.

 

Steve Davis v Adrian Gunnel

Rematch No.1 as Adrian takes on the player he lost to at the Grand Prix. Steve will be desperate to be playing as well as presenting at Telford but has a tough match. Expect this one to be a bit of a grinder.

Fergal O'Brien v Michael Holt

Rematch No. 2 as Fergal O'Brien wants revenge over Holty for the Northern Ireland Trophy defeat. This'll be the one I'm watching supporting The Hitman!

Liang Wenbo v Joe Swail

The Big One. Rematch No.3 and Joe will be desperate for revenge after he thrilling 2nd Round match at the Crucible in which Wenbo beat him in a Final Frame decider that went to the colours, it included controversy after Wenbo failed to admit a referee mistake. Expect a thriller. If you're going down to watch the Qualifiers, this is the one to watch.
