We’re just gutted that we didn’t have our cues for our opening match as that had a big impact on our chances.

A SHORT HISTORY OF THE WORLD CUP
http://www.inside-snooker.com/snooker/2015/6/8/a-short-history-of-the-world-cup

Thx, I enjoy your your links....here's an expression that made me laugh...........It's soooooooooooooooooo pool player ish thinking. Makes ya realize, pool players and snooker players, same animal, different suit. Kinda the way I look at pro golfers.

Here's the Quote:
But the all-Irish line-up of Dennis Taylor, Alex Higgins and Eugene Hughes were the team to beat. They won three successive titles from 1985 to 1987 before it was decided Northern Ireland and the Republic should have separate teams, presumably to....give everyone else a chance.
