Fantasy Snooker: Players Championship points and Gibraltar Open info

Another week has passed in the Fantasy Snooker league with Ronnie O'Sullivan winning the Players Championship in Preston and completing the 10-4 victory in the final over Neil Robertson with his 1000th career century.

An excellent achievement and handy for those that selected him as he made a total of five centuries in his matches last week to reach the historic landmark.

Next up on the calendar is the Gibraltar Open as the league really hits the home straight with just the China Open and the season ending double points World Championship to follow.

With the absence of a number of top names from the draw in Gibraltar this weekend, it provides an opportunity to have a close look at the draw and maybe head outside of the box for one or both of your two selections for the event.  

All the best to the participants ahead of the weekend's action.
