Firstly a huge thank you to everyone that joined our the Cuesport TV Facebook Fanpage. We set the challenge of trying to reach 1000 fans by 31st January. I am pleased to say that we surpassed that target on January 31st.

What this means is that we will as promised donate £100 to the Paul Hunter Foundation (a video will be made to show us actually sending the money!). In addition Fabio Marcello of Italy won the £50 voucher for BilliardsBoutique.com.

John Higgins has won the Welsh Open with a 9-4 win over last years champion, Ali Carter. The win puts Higgins 9505 points ahead of Ronnie O’Sullivan at the top of the provisional rankings. If he matches Ronnie’s result at the China Open in March then he will be confirmed as world number 1 before the World Championships start in April.

If we reach the target then we will donate £100 to the Paul Hunter Foundation and one lucky ‘fan’ will receive a £50 voucher for BilliardsBoutique.com.

Gareth Potts v Oly Bale - £10,000 per man - 8 Ball Challenge

Saturday 16th January sees this eagerly awaited match actually take place. The talk will be over and the action will commence. The dislike amongst the players is well known which is why this match is of huge importance.

Gareth Potts as a three-time world champion will undoubtedly start as favourite, however, Oly Bale has a good game and if he plays his own game then has every chance of causing an upset.

The game will be live on Cuesport TV, Potts v Bale 8 Ball Challenge, and viewers will need to pay to watch this event.

A subscription costs from £2.95 and a how to guide is available here: How to Subscribe to Cuesport TV.

The Shanghai Masters started on MOnday of this week and it started off with the Wildcard rounds, most of the pro’s came through unscathed to reach the first round proper of this event.

However, the first round saw a number of ’shocks’ as seeded players fell at the first hurdle. Neil Robertson, Peter Ebdon and Mark Selby all lost their respective matches. In addition Stephen Maguire quite literally fell, in the shower! The damage he did to his shoulder is meant to be quite severe so he had to pull out gifting Barry Hawkins a match in round 2.

________________

Podcast #06 takes a look at this weekend’s Eurotour Paris Open that features a number of high profile 9-ball pool players including Tony Drago, Daryl Peach, Ralf Souquet and Niels Feijen.

The tournament is available via a live stream on the Internet at:

Eurotour Live Stream

The stream is a decent quality and is well-worth a look although you will have to register with address, phone number, email and more and the site is also not running on a secure protocol.

There is also a preview for the Welsh Open snooker tournament that starts on the 16th February and features a number of Welsh players in addition to the regulars on the World snooker tour.

Welsh Open Snooker

Pete’s Predictions for this one is a Matthew Stevens v Ryan Day final, a little bit sentimental perhaps with an all-welsh affair!

Finally, extended details of CueSport TV’s first live broadcast of 2009, from Great Yarmouth, are talked about including multiple cameras and live score graphics. It is free and all that is required is a login/registration (also free!)
