Day Joins Star-Studded Liverpool Line-Up
Ryan Day will compete at the 2027 UK Seniors Snooker Championship at St George’s Hall in Liverpool on 19-21 February.
The four-time ranking event winner is latest major name added to an impressive field for three days of high-quality snooker in the heart of Liverpool as he joins a stellar line-up already announced which includes defending champion Peter Lines, Jimmy White, Ken Doherty, Joe Perry, Robert Milkins, Matthew Stevens and Anthony Hamilton.
Day, who is a former world number six, won his most recent World Snooker Tour (WST) ranking event title at the 2022 British Open and has reached the quarter-finals of the World Championship at the Crucible Theatre on three occasions.
The announcement comes following a strong start to the campaign from the Welshman who won his maiden World Seniors Snooker (WSS) Tour title last weekend by defeating Andy Lavin 4-1 to climb to the summit of the one-year Race to the Crucible ranking list.
The UK Seniors Championship will be played under the innovative ‘Snooker 900’ format, bringing a very different dynamic to the traditional game. Each frame is limited to 900 seconds – 15 minutes – with players operating under a 20-second shot clock. The result is fast, attacking and unpredictable snooker which is designed to keep the action moving and the audience involved from the opening break to the final ball.
Day said: “I’m really looking forward to playing my first televised World Seniors Snooker event – there’s a great history of snooker in Liverpool. I’ve really enjoyed playing World Seniors Snooker events and winning my first title recently has given me even more appetite for it. The ‘Snooker 900’ format is obviously very different to what we are used to on the World Snooker Tour, so it should be great fun and I’m sure there will be plenty of drama. With the names that have already been announced, it should be a brilliant few days for the fans.”
