The Coral United Kingdom -Championship
Last year RAY REARDON , six times World Champion, gave JIMMY WHITE , himself ex-World Amateur Champion, a lesson in tactics in match-play snooker. In winning the Professional Players' Tournament last year Reardon beat the brilliant White proving that there is no substitute for experience although many believe Jimmy White 's talent must win him a major title soon. Both players, after a very disappointing start to the new season, will be relieved if they have reached this stage with DENNIS TAYLOR and REX WILLIAMS in their paths.
DAVID VINE introduces live coverage of this evening's session from the Guild Hall, Preston.
