That's a great draw. Smith-Lewis & Mensur-Wade my personal highlights but there isn't really a totally horrific game in there.

I can see a number of games from last year in there too (Gurney v Hendo and Cross v Beaton the only ones I think).

Will be very interesting to see how MVG handles the Irish crowd against young Lennon.
2020 World Grand Prix Lucky Dip winner!
2x 2019 Q-School Lucky Dip winner!

Both as valuable as the Lakeside piss pot!

Admirable. Jeffrey de Zwaan kicking off the Grand Prix. To think they used to cram this with 8 Irish pub planks.

After all these years it really shows how much Taylor dominated every single event that there are so few major winners.
