Dafabet Snooker Legends Tour – Plymouth

Monique Snooker Legends event

Yesterday (22 August 2015), Ronnie and Jimmy White offered the fans a great night in Plymouth Pavilions. Ronnie won the match by 5-3, with 2 centuries and a 98 (… and 3 147 attempts 😉 ). Jimmy fought hard to come back from 3-0 down to 3-2 and 4-3, treating the audience with some stunning shots.

John Virgo did some great trick shots

And everyone was delighted to see Michaela Tabb back in the white gloves.

But the real star of the night was surprise guest Ray Reardon who looked in great shape. The 6 times World Champion told us that he had a 97 break earlier that day! What a legend! Ronnie was absolutely thrilled to see his former mentor from whom he learned so much about the tactical side of snooker.

Thanks to Jason Francis for organising those great events, and to the sponsors Dafabet for supporting this season tour!

Ronnie wins the Pink Ribbon Charity 2015

Monique Snooker

Ronnie is taking a break from competitive snooker but still entered the Pink Ribbon Charity 2015 tournament and duly won it.

Darryl Walker, Paul Mount and Ronnie, with the trophies, after the Pink Ribbon 2015 Final

This pro-am tournament – held for the sixth times this year – was created by Paul Mount to honour the memory of his sister, Kay Suzanne, and to gather funds to support those who fight against breast cancer and offer concrete help to sufferers.
From 15th to 19th of July 2015, the South West Snooker Academy welcomed over 350 snooker players, all sporting pink polo shirts. It was once again a great event, played in great spirit.
It was the first time that Ronnie had entered it. He had brought pictures to sign for the fans, inviting them to donate whatever they could afford to the charity.
He also donated part of his winner prize money and promised to come back next year to defend his title.
In the final, Ronnie defeated Darryn Walker, an amateur who undoubtedly was the true star of the event. Having entered twice – as he was allowed to, being an amateur – he reached the semi finals in both halves of the draw, quite an extraordinary feat. He won the first semi final, beating Craig Steadman, a main tour player and then faced Ronnie in the last match that was both semi final and final combined.
