The State Express
World Challenge Cup
England v
Northern Ireland
Very much the crunch contest so far of this new Team
Competition. With every frame in ! every match counting, today's contest will decide who, from group A, goes through to the two-day final that begins on Friday.
JOHN SPENCER , FRED DAVIS and GRAHAM MILES are the favourites, but life at the top is harder than ever before in the world of snooker, and DENNIS TAYLOR , ALEX HIGGINS and JACK REA are formidable opposition.
DAVID VINE introduces highlights of this afternoon's session from the Haden Hill Leisure Centre, Birmingham.
