murphy and hawkins a brief sporting history


Barry Hawkins

Barry Hawkins born 23 April 1979 is an English professional snooker player from Kent. He turned professional in 1996, but was poor until the prominence in the 2004/2005 snooker season, when he reached the last 16 of the 2004 UK Championship,. He is now a very consist and player and has now spent eight successive seasons ranked inside the top 32. He reached his first ranking final and won his first ranking title at the 2012 Australian open

Hawkins has played in the televised stages of every World Championship since he made his Crucible Theatre debut. He Reaching the early stages until 2012. He had defeated some big players to reach the World Final in 2013 and has now made a big statement saying that he is going to be here for a long time after reaching the world Championship final Although he lost 12–18 in the final to defending champion Ronnie O'Sullivan,

He would not be a favourite of mine but he does show consistency

Shawn Murphy

Shawn Murphy born 10 August 1982 is an English professional snooker player, who won the 2005 World Championship.Nicknamed "The Magician", Murphy is noted for his potting as he can hit a long one very well.

Born in Harlow, England, Murphy turned professional in 1998. His victory at the World Championship was considered a major shock as he had to qualify for the tournament. He had also won a few smaller tournaments and reached a final or two He has also won seven non-ranking tournaments.

Murphy has won over £2 million in prize money and has compiled more than 300 century breaks in his professional career. He is very well known for his ginger hair and the way that he speaks as he sounds like he comes from the south.

I think that he has got a good chance of winning the world title as he has shown he can perform on a good day
