Mark Selby put on an assured display of snooker to beat John Higgins 6-2 and reach his second consecutive Masters final.

The performance was topped by a break of 102 in the fifth frame.

After going into the mid-session at two frames a piece Selby came out firing and in the end won the match comfortably winning all four of the next four frames to take the match.

Live Snooker Today.

January 17, 2009 / The_Teach / No comments

The quarter-finals are over and now is where the real action starts! The semi-finals of the World Snooker Masters start this afternoon, first up is defending champion Mark Selby against one of the most highly regarded match players in the history of snooker, John Higgins.

It should be a very tough game with Selby having played final frame deciders in his first two matches, this could cause a bit of fatigue. On the other hand Higgins looked comfortable in beating Ding Junhui 6-4 and the Scot was never behind.

Another Century Break

December 29, 2008 / The_Teach / No comments

Back in September we covered our first snooker event the 2008 Belgium Open. A host of top players were in attendance including Mark Selby. Recently I posted a 147 attempt he made in the first frame of the tournament against Kasra Kharavan. Well in that match he went 209 points without reply as he made back-to-back centuries.

The 104 in the first frame was backed up with a 105 in the second.

You can watch this break below:

Neither of these two were actually the tournaments highest break, Neil Robertson made a 142 in his first group match. I will bring you this break later.

Belgium Open Snooker Videos

December 22, 2008 / The_Teach / 2 comments

You had probably forgotten, we broadcast the Belgium Open snooker back in September and always had plans to spruce up the videos and release them on the channel.

We were massively busy through September, October and November so have just started on these tapes. The snooker is awesome and the quality of the video files is also great,

As a little taster we have just released this 104 break by Mark Selby. 13 reds followed by 13 blacks and we were starting to sweat thinking of the maximum 147 break. What made this extra special was that it was the very first match of the tournament and none of the players had been able to practice on the tables. Unfortunately it was not to be but a great effort none the less. Enjoy!

You can watch live 9-ball pool and live snooker this weekend!

The Mosconi Cup returns for it’s 15th edition and starts tomorrow evening the 11th December live on Sky Sports. The European team (captained this year by Alex Lely) are the defending champions having won the trophy in Las Vegas last year. The tournament MVP last time out was Tony Drago and he will be looking to put on a similar performance as he will be playing in Malta, his home country.

The rest of the European team are Ralf Souquet, Niels Feijen, Mika Immonen and Englands own Mark Gray. European players currently hold all of the world titles and have also been successful in the majors this year as well, Ralf Souquet winning the US Open the highlight.

The US team is captained by Nick Varner and is almost an unchanged side from last year, Earl Strickland returns as the only ever present since this tournament started and is joined by Johnny Archer, Shane van Boening, Jeremy Jones and Rodney Morris.

If snooker is more your tipple then prepare to be mesmerised as the Uk Championships starts on Saturday 13th December from the Telford International Centre. Regarded as the second most prestigious snooker tournament after the World Championships Ronnie O’Suillivan will be on hand to defend the title he won last December.

Other contenders:

  • Shaun Murphy (due some form after losing all first round matches this season.
  • Stephen Maguire (World number 2 could do with a good run)
  • Mark Selby (Looked poor in the Premier League final last weekend but has had a solid season)
  • John Higgins (Always a good performer)
  • Ryan Day (About time he won something)
