UK Snooker Championships

With fewer ranking events than ever, the omission of snooker from the 2010 Commonwealth Games could be the final nail in the coffin - but more than likely it'll make no difference! Graeme Dott seems to be the only person that's disappointed and he has resorted to slagging off a sport that will be included at the games, archery. The World Champion issued a challenge by saying "if you asked most people to name a snooker player or an archer, they would name you at least 3 snooker players and no archers". Well, there's Robin Hood and ... eh ... his band of merry men. Ok, Graeme, you win this round but will you hit the bullseye at the UK Championship?
