NEW YOUNG SENSATION JUDD TRUMP EXHIBITION AT REDRUTH IN APRIL!
Welcome to all our visitors to Cornwall Snooker Scene. We now incorporate a section on Cornish Mines, with videos, slideshows and factsheets. We now have two DVDs (about 8 hours total) of film of Cornish Mines! This has been well received by all those who bought it! Since this website covers the Mining Snooker League, this seemed an appropriate sideline venture! Hope you like this section!
We apologise if some of the pages on this site have not been updated for some time or are incomplete. It is not always easy to get around to it. Please bear with us. I am also having problems uploading to my FTP space, so have modified some of the addresses in the list below.
We now have a two hour DVD featuring Trevithick Day 2005, with all the traction engines and street organs in full swing, the engines out on the road and a slide show! Plus a CD ROM of photographs. Please email for details.
I also have a very large collection of snooker, tennis & football DVDs, and a few pool DVDs too. Have a look!
Snooker Questions Pages. We have now revived our question and answer section, so please send in your questions!
Please ignore the stuff below, I'll get around to updating it one day! Of course, Ronnie won the World Championship 2008 in awesome fashion, and I recorded all his matches - see DVD collection.
Ok, so it's been out of date for a long time! I've been meaning to update for a while, but never seem to get around to it. So, here goes. John Higgins outclassed Shaun Murphy to win the World Championship for the second time in three years. He himself had a few close shaves earlier in the tournament, especially in a nerve-tingling 13-12 victory over Jamie Cope in Round 2... If you are interested in a DVD of Jamie Cope's exhibition at Redruth 2009, please email me (to be continued when I get another five minutes).
And
now Graeme Dott wins the World Championship 2006! You have to say that,
although far from the most talented player on the circuit, Graeme probably
deserved to win through sheer grit and determination. Beating Ronnie 8-0
in one session of the Semi Final must go down as one of the great
performances of all time. But this will not rank as one of the most
memorable Championships. Marco Fu also brought great credit on himself
with his play and his quiet way of going about his business.
22 year old Shaun Murphy certainly showed improved form to win the
Embassy World Championships 2005. I had noted him in some previous matches
as having great potential, but he shocked us all by going all the way. A
Final between Shaun and Ronnie would have been very interesting, but it
was not to be. It remains to be seen whether Shaun can maintain this form
in the future. With the likes of him, Ronnie and Stephen Maguire around,
we could be in for some exciting viewing! Unfortunately, since writing
that, Stephen Maguire appears to have gone into the doldrums, never
reproducing the form that took him to the Malta and UK titles. Despite not
being in the top 16, Shaun Murphy gained automatic entry and high seed
status in all last season's tournaments as the reigning World Champion. A
bit unfair on Ian McCulloch, who, as No. 16 ranked player, had to qualify
for the ranking events and failed on some occasions!
MINING
SNOOKER LEAGUE SEASON 2007-8
The Mining Season 2007-8 saw Clinton SC A win the title yet again,
with Redruth RBL as runners-up. If you want to join the mailing list for
next season, please

Andy Hicks is the resident professional at
Bell's Court Snooker Club,
Falmouth. We were delighted to see Andy's performance in the 2004 World
Championships. In 2005 he came unstuck against Matthew Stevens 10-5, but
there was some consolation in the fact that Matthew went on to reach the
Final. And in 2006 he went down to Steve Davis in Round 1. It is also
pleasing for most of us that Andy will still be allowed to play in the
Mining League next season (giving 28 start) when available. It would be
great to see Andy produce the true form in tournaments which we all know
he is capable of.
