2009 WORLD SNOOKER CHAMPIONSHIP
Official Corporate Hospitality Packages for the World Snooker Championship 2009
The Crucible Theatre, Sheffield
Saturday 18th April – Monday 4th May 2009
The World Snooker Championship is the oldest, richest and most important tournament in snooker. It is, therefore quite simply, the tournament that all professional snooker players want to win. First played in 1927, the competition spans an exhausting seventeen days culminating in the best of 35 frame final.
Last year Ronnie O’Sullivan produced some spectacular snooker on his way to an 18-8 victory over Ali Carter. During the tournament O’Sullivan recorded his third Crucible maximum with a stunning 147 break against Mark Williams.
