If anyone has followed my predictions for the first round they would have noticed I got a couple right. Wish I had made that trip to the bookies now!! I also had a couple of close ones and a couple of correct scores but just picked the wrong winners! With the start of the second round matches today, I"ve prepared my predictions:
M. Williams v J. Cope (13-8)
J. Trump v M. Gould (13-7)
G. Dott v A. Carter (10-13)
M. Allen v B. Hawkins (13-8)
S. Murphy v R. O"Sullivan (10-13)
S. Hendry v M. Selby (9-13) *assuming Mark Selby wins his first round match (currently 8-1)
D. Junhui v S. Bingham (13-6)
R. McLeod v J. Higgins (7-13) *assuming John Higgins wins his first round match (currently 6-3)

yep u"ve had at least 1 look :)
agree with the above [for likely winner,not the frames] accept for Dotty, he gave Del Hill a visit before the crucible and the once-over it seems has produced some good form... Dotty with confidence is a tough nut to crack, so i think/hope that he"ll squeak through by the odd frame versus the Captain...
obv would luv to see ronn win the whole thing and if not Dotty or MJ Laid back Williams... but alas it would seem Higgins is the man to beat...

Ok. So I got all but one winner right, predicted the correct score for the John Higgins match and got within one frame of a couple of others!! Here comes my Quarter Final predictions:
J. Trump v G. Dott (13-9)
M. Williams v M. Allen (13-11)
D. Junhui v M. Selby (10-13)
R. O"Sullivan v J. Higgins (13-12)

The Norwich & District Snooker League Singles Tournament - Semi-finals (27th April 2011)
Table One was a one sided display of excellent snooker with Jamie Edwards winning 4-0 with help from a couple of 50+ breaks and a maximum attempt in the final frame eventually missing the 13th red on 96.
Table Two wasn"t quite so one sided... It brought together the defending champion (and winner for the last three years) Nick Spelman, and the under 19"s champion for the last three years, Grant Miles (also my team-mate).
Frame 1: After an edgy start by both players Nick was first to settle making a clearance of 85 to take the frame. (1-0)
Frame 2: Grant had the first opportunity and settled his nerves with a nice 44 break, a good safety, then a steady 24 to secure the frame. (1-1)
Frame 3: Both Nick and Grant had chances spawned in the first half of the frame which seen Nick create a 24 point lead , but a quality 60 clearance from Grant saw him take the lead for the first time in the match. (1-2)
Frame 4: Theres usually always an uneventful frame in any match and this match was no exception. A scrappy frame with Grant eventually coming out the winner. (1-3)
Frame 5: Nick, now with his back against the wall and needing to win three frames in a row proved he was up for the challenge winning with a well constructed 53 break. (2-3)
Frame 6: Nick had entered "The Zone" and produced two very quick and confident 40+ breaks to force the decider. (3-3)
Frame 7: Having sat out for two frames the pressure was now on Grant, he needed to dig deep and find a little bit of magic which he did in the form of a match winning 77 break to reach his first ever final in this competition. (3-4)
Final to be played: 3rd May 2011 - Report to follow

So it"s Semi-finals time and I"d predicted two winners and got two wrong! It seems trying to predict the scores is impossible but I will still have a go:
Judd Trump v Ding Junhui (17-12)
Mark Williams v John Higgins (17-14)
