Snooker in October 2011

19:15:00 Ramona Dragomir 0 Comments

The month of October will find us in Poland for the last two day of the Players Tour Championship Event 6, but after that we are flying back home in the UK. And we shall remain there until the end of autumn's second month.


The fun will start early, on October 5th another glorious PTC event taking place. Of course that I'm talking about Players Tour Championship Event 7 (aka.The Kay Suzanne Memorial Trophy), the event being held at the lovely South West Snooker Academy from Gloucester. But as the cues will start to hit the balls, in Weston-Super-Mare the fifth week of the Premier League will also kick off, so on October 6th  four more players will try their best to earn more points in order to obtain a better position on the “snooker charts”.

As the PTC 7 will finish on October 9th, we are not to leave Gloucester because for the next couple of days the World Seniors Championship qualifiers will start, bringing together some really great names from the snooker industry.

The cities of Stoke and Exeter will open their arms for Premier League’s  week six and seven, while the end of the month will find us in Ireland for the Players Tour Championship Event 8 (aka. The Alex Higgins International Trophy).
