Saga Insurance Masters tournament

Last night went to the Saga Insurance Masters Tournament at Wembley Arena:



I'd never been to a live Snooker match before so was somewhat looking forward to it. I wasn't disappointed. The match was Peter Ebdon versus Ding Junhui (the 19 year old Chinese sensation who's already won three ranking tournaments). Although Ebdon won the first two frames, Ding then won five in a row therefore requiring only one more to win. He came close in the eighth frame but lost it narrowly. The ninth frame was close but Ebdon conceded it when he missed an easy ball and left a red over the pocket when all Ding needed to do it was to pot the red.
The atmosphere was sensational and so different from watching at home, as you're only a matter of a few metres from the table you don't and can't miss anything.
