We have an exciting exhibition match taking place today, courtesy of the excellent people at WST!

At the 4pm today in the Q Zone in Manchester for the professional Sportsbet.io Tour Championship that are currently being played, our British Universities & Colleges Sport (BUCS)-UPC Snooker Individual Championship finalists will do battle again!

Matei Rosca of the University of Manchester will play Om Goswamy of Imperial College London in a best of 5 frames snooker match! We are hoping it will be partially featured on Channel 5's live coverage as well later today.

If you happen to be in Manchester or at the Tour Championships today, please support Matei and Om as it is free to enter the Q Zone!

We wish to thank WST for offering both players a guided tour of the event as well as free tickets for today's Tour Championship matches. We are hoping this becomes a closer link between WST and governing bodies such as the English Partnership for Snooker and Billiards where we continue to add value to the BUCS Snooker Championship for future seasons.
