Northern Ireland Open 2026

Waco joins them

Thought Bazza was gonna pinch that frame - that dropping of the cue ball onto the brown from Wells - got there in the end though

Not he best Bazza

*the

Another one bites the dust -goodbye Barry - 4-2 Wells

Ronald would rather be at home - meeting up with friends and having some good food - sounds like anywhere else than here - see how this goes

Seems to be going alright so far

4-0 Kyren

1.01 duffed up - 3-1 ahead - but missed red, brown then blue done for Ronald - Ka Wai held himself together well enough and takes it 4-3

Not the best start to the evening - Ford scoreboard not working and Butch/Yao just sitting there waiting

Judd next out the door - good win for MoD

Finish from Rhino - fights off the Chang comeback attempt - 4-3

Couple of tough interviews for Rachel there with Brown and Allen both upset. Mark saying he's close to packing in the game.

Holt played alright though

1.04 in running Xintong the next top player on his way out - from 2 up - impressive from Gao

1.05 Noppon match going the same way - 3-2 down

Nope -  GSM 4-3 Noppon

v sad to see mark like this

Yeah wonders - was a difficult watch seeing him so upset

Kyren and Theppy not messing about - some start 2-1 Kyren in 40 mins

Pot

Desperately sad, the poor man sounded completely broken.

Well done to Rachel Casey though for handling that interview with such warmth and compassion.

1.4s Butch not getting on the scoreboard - 4-0 Ka Wai
