Players Tour Championship Event Two 2011 - the qualifiers (round 2)

The Lady of snooker qualifies for PTC Event 2

The second day of the Players Tour Championship Event Two qualifiers has come to an end and I must say it wasn't a very easy day. Hell, I've got tired just by writing that first sentence :-)) But leaving the joke aside, the second day (as well as the last one) of the preliminary rounds has put together some really great matches and has sent further in the competition players that will surely thrill us with their performances.


A very determined Reanne Evans has managed to win her second qualifying match by hammering Andrew Rogers 4-1 and leaving the table as clean as it can be after hitting a beautiful 95 break. To follow next, the "musical" Robbie Williams, who left the glory and fame to start a career in snooker, was lucky enough to take advantage of the fact that his first opponent, the German Lasse Münstermann pulled out of the event, but in the evening he's proved that he is ready for the kill as he beat Garoid O'Conner 4-2 to book himself a meeting with Pink Army's brave soldier Mark Davis.

Robbie Williams takes that victory

No surprise to see Ben Harrison fly over the Scotsman Marc Davis (yeah, Marc and not Mark!) 4-1 to set a snooker encounter with the strategist Dave Harold, or to follow Allan Taylor's faultless performance the player beating Del Smith 4-1 and Martin O'Donnell 4-2 in order to face Stuart Bingham.

Agreat run as also been recorded by Kyren Wilson, the lad ending Poland's Adam Stefanow's dream with a break of 100 and a final 4-1 scoreline, Nick Jennings defeated the legendary Tony Knowles 4-2 and beat Gareth Greene 4-1, while Justin Astley cashed a well deserved victory of 4-1 over Jack Culligan (break of 51, 124 and 60 included) and whitewashed Anthony Parson 4-0, now taking on the mighty Judd Trump.


The highest break of the qualifiers and also of this competition (so far) has been a perfect 133 by Jamie O'Neill, break that was hit during his match against Pakistan’s Shahram Changezi, whom he beat 4-1.

The unstoppable Kyren Wilson

Joe Delaney's outstanding series of 62, 71, 83 and 50 brought him a clear 4-0 victory over Sachin Plaha and due to Le Fernandez withdrawal he got a bye to set up his first match with Mark “The Pistol” Allen.


A few hours from now, the real bloody fight will begin as the snooker's powerful gladiators will enter the arena. Great news, for we will be able to see some of the matches, for example the battle between Craig Steadman and Jimmy White and the one between Mark Williams and Callum Downing from 9am (UK time), but also Steve Davis taking on Scott MacKenzie from 1pm (UK time).
