Paul Hunter Classic 2009: Snooker returns to Furth

With a bit of free space in the calendar between now and the Shanghai Masters, this weekend sees the sixth staging of the Paul Hunter German Classic over in Furth. Here are a few details…

Won last season by Shaun Murphy, this year again sees an excellent field containing 34 current tour professionals (head over to Germany, as well as top young talent such as Jack Lisowski, Luca Brecel and Michal Zielinski.

Unfortunately I have never been over to the event but looking at some of the pictures from the event over at the Snooker Virus website, it looks like a really interesting venue. With so many top players involved and an even greater amount of enthusiastic fans there to watch, I imagine that there will be a really good atmosphere around the place.

The event will run between now and Sunday (no clash with the Northern Ireland Trophy this year thankfully), and for more information you can visit the official website here.

As usual however, for all the latest results, the place to head to is Global Snooker and you can do that by clicking here.
