Reports from Janie Watkins ([email protected]) as posted onalt.sport.snooker
Nov 20: What the players say...
Some are still in the tournament and some have already made the long (or short) journey home.... here are some of the comments from and about the players before the event started:
Bournemouth Pro - PAUL WYKES
"I can't wait for it to start". "I played Fergal in the Grand Prix last year at the BIC and the crowd were clapping every shot." "The UK Championship is the second biggest tournament in snooker and, with the matches over longer sessions I should be able to bring out my game". "...I need a good run in the UK..."
Result: Fergal O'Brien beat Paul Wykes 9-2
Rocket - RONNIE O'SULLIVAN
"I didn't play snooker for four months, and it was good to have a break, but I've been practising hard since the start of September".
"I had a good time away from the table. I went to Lake Garda... and took it easy".
"I played golf and enjoyed the scenery, it's a lovely place to go and get away from it all, where you don't have all the worries of snooker".
"It is one of the tournaments every player would like to win".
Result: Never got onto the starting blocks.
"Hong Kong snooker sensation Marco Fu is one man snooker's top stars are hoping to avoid..."
Result: Chop Fuey
"Thai, Wattana is Asia's leading player"
Result: Left on the "Couch"
"Now 41, 'the Nugget' is still as competitive as ever..."
Ah they got one right!
"White, UK Champion in 1992, will be looking for a long run in the tournament to boost his chances of returning to the Top 16 next season..."
So far so good.
From the History Books - The UK Championship
First played in 1977 at Blackpool Tower Circus - won by Patsy Fagan
Defeated 77 finalist Doug Mountjoy won in 1978 with a 15-9 win of David Taylor.
Big Break star John Virgo won in 1979 with a dramatic 14-13 win over Terry Griffiths.
When leading 11-7 Virgo was docked two frame for turning up late, and after trailing 13-12, he snatched the last two frames for victory. 1980 saw the reign of Steve Davis beginning. It was Davis' first major title - his current tally is 73 titles!
Welshman Terry Griffiths interrupted the Davis run in 1982, beating Alex Higgins 16-15.
And it was Higgins in 1983 who won the dramatic victory against Davis. Having trailed 7-0 to Davis, Higgins fought back to win 16-15.
Davis returned to win the title for the next four years. Amongst those was the 1985 win over Willie Thorne who missed a simple blue to take the title.
Doug Mountjoy ended the Davis run in 1988 as he enjoyed a renaissance that gave him three titles that season.
Stephen Hendry began his dominance in 1989, ironically defeating Davis 16-12. And he did the double over Davis in 1990, this time 16-15.
Parrott won the title in 1991, becoming only the third man to hold the world and uk titles at the same time.
The most popular victory was Jimmy White's in 1992 as he beat Parrott 16-9.
1993 saw the emergence of Ronnie O'Sullivan as he stormed through the event, beating Hendry 10-6 in the final, becomng the youngest ever winner of a ranking event.
Hendry's win in 1994 was astonishing as he recorded 7 century breaks during the final to defeat Ken Doherty 10-5.
Hendry won again in 95 with a 10-3 win over Ebdon and won again in 96 beating John Higgins 10-9.
Last year's winner was, of course, Ronnie O'Sullivan, but as he is unable to defend his title, another name will be engraved on this year's trophy.

Nov 16: Round One - Early scores and News
Round One of The United Kingdom championship got under way today, at The Bournemouth International Centre. The long hard trail, of two-session, 17 frame matches will eventually lead to a winner on 29th November. Ronnie O'Sullivan defends the title he won in Prestonlast year, but who will lift the crown this year.
The Grand Prix, normally a tournament that throws up a number of shocks, suggested that this could be one of the most open seasons for a long time. Pin sticking stuff for the punters!
Gerard Greene warmed to his task in the cold early Bournemouth morning as he cracked in breaks of 136 and 114 to take a 5-3 lead over Scotland's Graeme Dott.
The two ton feat was emulated by Scot Euan Henderson this afternoon, as he compiled runs of 107 and 105 in successive frames against John Parrottto earn a 4-3 lead, but Parrott knocked in 72 to leave them level after the first session.
Quick out of the blocks was Cwm's Mark J Williams. Breaks of 57, 85 57, and 86 helped him to an "unassailable" 8-1 lead over Jimmy Michie.
Fellow Welshmen Matthew Stevens and Dominic Dale ended their first sessions with their noses in front. Stevens rapped in 55, 57 and 74 on the way to a 5-3 lead over Londoner Bradley Jones; while Dale saw a 5-1 lead clipped to 5-3 as David Gray compiled 55 and 67 to cut his deficit.
Jimmy White declared himself fit and promptly proved it as he was helped to a 6-2 lead over Jonathan Birch by breaks of 57, 81 and 52. From 2-2 White took four frames on the spin to earn his lead.
Alain Robidoux's troubles looked far from over as he slipped to a 6-2 deficit against Snooker's rap man Lee Richardson, as richardson took five frames in succession.
Michael Holt put up a good show on his venue debut as he held the obdurate Scot Alan McManus 4-4 after their first session. Holt compiled runs of 64, 55 & 60.
Grand Prix winner Stephen Lee had a hard's morning's work as he was held 4-4 by Nottingham's Steve Judd and Lee had to recover from 4-2 down with the last two frames to stay in touch.
James Wattana showed glimpses of his form with runs of 55 and 85, but he was on the receiving end of breaks of 52, 70 and 85 as Scunthorpe's Matthew Couch took a 6-2 lead.
Marco Fu put pressure on Gary Wilkinson as he took 4 consecutive frames for a 5-3 lead, helped by runs of 53, and 83 twice.
Anthony Hamilton and Swansea's Tony Chappel locked themselves into a long battle, as five of the seven frames they completed took more than half an hour each, but both produced quality snooker as Chappel ran in 83 and 62 and Hamilton responded with 72, 64, 52, 96 and 51 as he took a 4-3 lead.
Irishman Fergal O'Brien saddened the local fans as he hammered out a 7-1 lead over Bournemouth boy Paul Wykes.
Mark King and Joe Swail ended locked at 4-4, as did Darren Morganand Steve James..
Paul Hunter edged into a 5-3 lead over Lee Walker in a surprisingly low scoring match.
Plymouth star Patrick Wallace of Belfast swarmed into a 6-2 lead over Grand Prix hero Chris Small, but was pegged back as Small snatched the last two frames to stay in contention. Wallace notched breaks of 66, 68 and 77.
