I think the main damning part of Ernie's post (And many tx for the info) is not whether the youngsters will win a match or no. Or about Dan.
But the fact that all the kids are on the Player Support Programme, that only those kids are considered and - worst- That effectively those kids are being bribed with promises of wildcards to sign the pro contracts and therefore skupper college chances.
We also know that such love can be very short lived - No wc for Jodie this year.

 Yes, the point you and Ernie make is concerning. Sometimes college would be the better option or another route because everyone is different. And then what happens when you fall out of favour? You are a wee bit stuck.

 According to the report in the Telegraph, Evo vs Marcus starts at 11am.   I guess to make it fair to all with two games in a day, the other semi-finals will also start at the same time.

Thanks greeney.

Yes, good article by Marcus. I hadn't realised he'd had so many injuries, and must admit to being frustrated at him not capitalising on his run of fame. Oh well, that will teach me to judge, especially without knowing all the facts!

For those who can be bothered with Twitter, Stuart Fraser [ @stu_fraser ] will be providing game-by-game updates of the Evo Willis match this morning...

With the lack of fitness and conditioning it's not really surprising that Marcus has been injured so often. It's a negative cycle.

From the feed:

Evans *4-4 Willis. Evans brings up first break point with backhand pass but Willis saves with shot that trickles off net cord.

Willis: "Sorry"

Evans: "You're not sorry, don't say it"


Have to say he's doing a grand job as a commentator - almost like being there!

Some of the comments on that thread are amusing
eg "Any Hawk-Eye controversies so far?"
