Legends Snooker team cup at the Broadway Club on Sunday
The fourth edition of the Legends Team Cup gets underway at the city's Broadway Club on Sunday, featuring two former professionals and an array of local talent.
Sixteen players will randomly pair up to play across two groups, with 1 point per singles win and 2 points for a doubles victory. The winners and runners-up from both groups will advance to the semi-finals. Should the points be tied at 2-2 in the knock-out rounds, a best-of-3 blue ball shoot-out will determine the winners.
The in-form Luke Simmonds, winner of two events in recent months, 2020 Legends League finalist Colin Mitchell, as well as leading local stars Steve Martin, Darren Bampkin, Martyn Witton, Graham Bradford, Vaughan Lutkin and Andy Bunton are among the competitors hoping to pocket the £550 top prize and trophy. Simmonds and Mitchell are the two former professionals.
Last year pool ace Mark Gray teamed up with Spalding's Dan Burt to claim the title. Play starts at 10am with spectators welcome.
