Bingham And Vafaei Reach Winners’ Week
Stuart Bingham and Hossein Vafaei booked their winners’ week sports, topping Group 11 and 14 respectively, at the BetVictor Championship League Snooker in Leicester.
…
Things didn’t go to plan for the top seeded Bingham in the opening match, who found himself on the receiving end of a 3-0 Peter Devlin whitewash.
Bingham rectified those wrongs by handing out a whitewash of his own to Peter Lines in his next match, breaks of 65 and 55 were enough to secure his first three points of the group.
The snooker gods were on the 2015 world champion’s side as all other matches in his group ended in draws, meaning victory in Bingham’s final match against Cao Yupeng would earn him a place in winners’ week.
At 2-0 Bingham looked to be cruising to his second whitewash victory of the day, but a routine green rattled the jaws of the pocket, allowing Cao to get back to the table and steal the third with a breaks of 38 and 25.
Clearly stinging from his prior mistake, Ball Run composed himself in the deciding frame and secured victory with a 56 break to top Group 11.
Speaking with Phil Yates afterwards, he said: “That was hard work today, I didn’t get off to a good start against Peter Devlin, but credit to him he played well.
“I gave myself a stern talking to, took myself out the venue and tried to calm myself down, it worked as I ended up producing some good snooker in the end.
“I never make things easy [missing the green], I had one similar in the final frame that I made sure of making. It’s all a learning curve at this point in the season.”
Vafaei, fresh off the back of making his first career maximum break in BetVictor European Masters qualifying, started the group in strong fashion by beating Australia’s Ryan Thomerson 3-0 with breaks of 55 and 70.
The Iranian star then followed that up with another comprehensive 3-0 victory over Hong Kong’s Ng Ong Yee with breaks of 48 and 69 to set up a group decider against China’s Tian Pengfei. Vafaei only needed a draw to top the group.
Pengfei started in fine form, and led Vafaei 2-0 with breaks of 30 and 39. The reigning Shoot Out champion came out firing and secured the point needed, a crucial snooker in the third frame was key in his quest for group-topping glory. He went on to take the two frames he required.

And the table
Peter Devlin played very well in the afternoon session. He was invited “last minute”, he hadn’t practiced, he had been on holidays when called, he had no expectations. Everything was a bonus. But that changed going into his last match, knowing that awin would see him top the group and go to the next stage. Tension crept in, and with it, mistakes. Credit to Peter, having lost the first two frames he regained his focus and secured a draw. It wasn’t enough but it was good to see.
In group 14, On Yee won just one frame all day. In that frame she scored a 94 … which is great but, obviously, that’s not good enough and I’m afraid that giving tour cards to the top women players might backlash, “bringing water to the mill” (that’s a French expression: “apporter de l’eau au moulin”) for those who see women as “inferior” and definitely unable to even get close to the men’s level. It’s a number game, and until snooker manages to attract both young girls and boys in equal number, and clubs make gils feel welcome and safe, it won’t change.
Today we have Group 2 with Judd Trump, Jamie Clarke, Sean O’Sullivan, and Yisong Peng, and Group 7 with Shaun Murphy, Liam Highfield, Xu Si, and Ben Mertens.
Ronnie O'Sullivan 
I’m not sexist, I’d love to see a female player be successful on the main tour. The old fashioned clubs are obviously ridiculous, and many things need to change at the amateur (male and female) level.
However, I’m not sure having On Yee and Reanne lose 99% (I’m aware On Yee had a win against Wu Yize) of their “main tour” matches for two years, is the way to produce such a female player. Especially, that when they fail to automatically requalify for tour (being in the Top 64), one or both will just continue to stay on tour by winning the Women’s World Championship or being the next “highest ranked female player”.
I agree with you. And it’s the same with the “nominations” system. None of the players from Africa have been even remotely succesful, and most players from Australia-Oceania just didn’t bother to play after being clobbered in their first matches. They went back home. Too hard, too far, too expensive. Throwing someone in choppy water in the middle of the sea is NOT the best way to teach them how to swin. 99% will just drown, and for the majority of the 1% surviving it will be a major trauma. This system does not work.
I totally understand that and it takes me aback in the 21st century. This county keeps amazing me in wrong way. This is when I would send police etc to put an end to all this
It was disappointing to watch On Yee at the European Master qualification, when she did all the hard work to steal the frame and go 2-0 up, then missed the easy green. so this is where I lost interest and stopped watching. I don’t know how well women would do against men if they trained together and played on the same tour, but my ideal woman player would not enter the woman’s tour, but aim for the main tour in the first place. After people say the woman’s tour is great so women are not frustrated and can play with people at the same level but I can’t escape the feeling that they are also trained into this less demanding tournament culture and it is hard to change.
The problem, Csilla, is that it’s not just, and actually not mainly a matter of level. The main reason the women tour exist is because the way women and girls are seen and treated in clubs where most players are males. Mark Jones, Hannah Jones’ father spoke about how his daughter was systematically underestimated, mocked, even sexually taunted. And Hannah was only about 13 at the time. Rebecca Kenna used to play in her local league and was prevented to play some fixtures because the hosting league wasn’t allowing women to play in their club. And that was less than 5 years ago… So, yes, I agree with you, but it needs a huge change in mentality first.
