Snooker action continued yesterday in Leicester with group 24 and group 31.

Un-Nooh Blasts Past Minister Of Defence

Thailand’s Thepchaiya Un-Nooh whitewashed Martin O’Donnell in the final game of Group 31 to make the second stage of the BetVictor Championship League ranking event in Leicester.

…

Former Shoot Out champion Un-Nooh came into the crunch clash knowing he needed to win, while just a draw would see O’Donnell progress. In typical style, Un-Nooh averaged just 16 seconds a shot in a 3-0 win where he fired in breaks of 74, 76 and 98. Earlier in the day, Un-Nooh drew 2-2 with Gao Yang and defeated 12-time Women’s World Champion Reanne Evans 3-0. 

The action in Group 24 saw Chinese rookie Liu Wenwei prevail to earn his place in the second stage. He opened up with a 3-0 win over Jordan Brown, before beating Jackson Page 3-1 and drawing 2-2 against Zachary Richardson, where he came from 2-0 down to earn top spot. 

Liu Wenwei impressed me. Group 24 was certainly not an easy one on paper with Jordan Brown and Jackson Page in the field. But Liu was unfazed. He beat them both. He ended up, undefeated, as the winner of the group. Zak Richardson, playing as an amateur, replaced Jimmy White who withdrew. He, as well, finished the day undefeated but also winless … he managed three draws in three matches!

Reanne Evans was just terrible. 😞
