Snooker Treat For Royal Cross School Kids

A group of pupils from the Royal Cross School for the Deaf enjoyed a trip to the Coral Players Championship in Preston on Thursday.

The children were treated to a backstage tour by MC Phil Seymour, and met stars including Stephen Hendry, then watched live snooker for the first time as they took in the match between Neil Robertson and Mark Williams.

This was part of the new Free Tickets for Schools Scheme run by the WPBSA, giving tickets to local schools at various tournaments.
