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.

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 2005-6
The Mining Season 2005-6 saw Redruth RBL A take the Division 1 title by virtue of beating Clinton SC A 4-2 in the final match of the season. If you want to join the mailing list for next season, please e-mail me.

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.
