Couple of reasonably competitive games tonight in my opinion, Lewis V Gurney and this next one.
Having looked at the odds I'd be all over Laursen in this!! He's been there and done it loads of times on this stage 13/8 looks a good bet. |

I presume they've cut out the fifth match because it would always be played close to midnight with only a handful of spectators left in the arena. Another change this year was pointed out by Dave Clark earlier on; the stage and setting has been turned round 90 degrees to fit tiered seating round the whole of the hall and push the capacity up to 3000. |

I don't know who this woman interviewer is on Sky but she's absolute crap.
Keegan Brown deserved no credit for his performance at all. |
