Snooker in April 2011
April it’s here and as you all know this means that the World Snooker Championship is going to kick off. For those of you unaware of this, it lasts like two weeks and two days and it’s the most glorious and important tournament that snooker has! "The Crucible dream" will be something that all the players that succeeded in qualifying for this event will try to achieve, but only one of them will lift that shiny trophy at the end of it. It’s going to be a marathon of snooker, or strong nerves and of ambition and many will be left behind if they can’t keep up with the schedule.The World Snooker Championship
