Irish Open 2024 - Group Stage - Marty McNicholl v Gary McNabb

up yeah black balls all got green stickers brilliant yeah welcome everyone this is our third stream of the day here at the 2024 Irish open Match between Marty manl and Gary McNab yes unfortunately we've got two two sets of black balls with both of the green stickers so I'll do my best to identify who is who think as it is Gary's holding the one shot here yeah good ball it's made it too I can see there are just slightly different grips so I should be able to tell the difference part so we just wait to find out the result of this end georgo came to mat 17 please georgo came to mat 17 thank you Lads can you put the score up before you start the end just so I can update this thank you sorry boys three to carry first end so yeah three to Gary first end now better from Marty here or just dropped down there unlucky so Gary still holding yeah good again just going to slide under ni Two Shots though good from Marty quite shot though so it's just slightly off there Gary probably still holding to so Gary's last ball with his second end to drop down on N just holding a fraction out there on that line no chance for uh Marty here he's looking at the for end at the moment I think he'll probably just playing on the back end [Music] so Marty playing the forand just looking to disturb this yeah just CAU it on the wrong angle Sor right I just tried to stop the ball and then kick the kick a tripod so two to Gary I'll just wait for the score to go up so I can show those not watching who AR watching the sound 5 n to ends good start from Gary first ball good reply for Marty though drops right down in on the jack very good yeah just a nudge on that ball from Gary let open the Jacker fraction yeah just a little bit short from Marty he would have wanted to be a bit closer there so it gives Gary a chance now just going to dive under here I think oh yeah got a touch but just wanted to be fractur more weight on that line yeah better wait from Marty so that's good position there yeah so more weight this time from Gary got line too yeah got the job done chips it across to his own ball lies the one shot so Marty down the back can now just run down through onto this ball knock the jack to his own pulled it a bit tight might get an edge o just [Music] unlucky so 6 n to Gary three ends played remember we're playing 12 ends in this event same as the rest of our other world ranking events up from 10 ends previously yeah another good start from Gary Jamie W to 30 to Mark please Jamie West 30 to mark thank you so Marty just through there Gary just I think com have a look see if the jck will pass his ball into the ditch checking the angles [Music] he want it to keep running a little bit yeah pretty good ball there yeah very good good ball from Marty so now laying one shot that ball pretty well hidden as well so Gary just asking where his toucher is well that's a toucher and it's in the ditch not shot I think it's Marty so that's B's favored hard to tell from where I'm standing but uh could well be so Marty looking to draw the line here giving a really good effort need to fall back still think it'll be dead yeah he's out unlucky great effort from Marty there so Gary's last bowl of this fourth end he might even look see might look to push Marty's dead here lay for well that's yeah clap of his hands might have given the shot away now I still think it's worth playing it though could have picked up for four 60 up in the match Marty another good effort here to draw two yeah very good yep Gary signals to two good bows from Marty good end that actually Gary unlucky not to lying for but as it is Marty picks up his first score and now Trails Gary 62 after four [Applause] ends so Marty sticking with a fairly long Jack three quter gets a touch for those of you who might be watching the first time today remember in s SMPT events now the players are can run at the Jack but if their ball goes in the ditch their first ball goes in the ditch it is removed if it's a toucher Marty now with his second ball is going to look to run this I think just under it didn't get a touch yeah good from Gary still think Marty will be aggressive at this yeah better line this time to clean on it yeah very good yeah good from Gary just flick his toucher in right on top of the Jack it's hard to see from this angle but the jack is right next to that uh toucher in the ditch now [Applause] just short from Gary so just be the one Gary 72 up after six uh five ends sorry Gary's just going to pull away from this still room to get in there on the forehand for Marty stepping out so playing weight killed the back so they'll replay from the same direction we're allowed to kill it twice in our events without penalty so Gary to restart there six end interesting Mart is looking to play this just control wa get a toucher push it back again if the Jack goes in now that ball will be lifted now cuz it's dead if it stayed partly live then it would have been all right but because it went fully into the ditch it's uh removed yeah good ball from Gary there just dra to within 8 in of the ditch yeah fortunately Marty just slightly too heavy with his b he's made a good effort of this yeah good try Gary's looking to push us dead but not got the weight to do it sits it down but it stays live change your hands now for Marty just too wide Gary's just looking to reach Marty's over the line here yeah very good and he stayed alive so laying four shots now so Mar just needs to bump and stop needs it full is going to run ditch he's unlucky but second wood I think two so he kicked his own ball up there indicating he's conceding two shots unlucky but saved save two in the process his tactic of running the jet there just unfortunately didn't come off so he's now 92 up Gary after six ends halfway through oh that's why I come this way so Gary's first ball is a toucher there so again better wait for Marty this time oh he's unlucky though this time hasn't quite got the Jack in the ditch it's a tricky shot to play that now you've got to play it just perfect way you want to try and kill Jack but you've also got to make sure your ball stays live as you saw in the previous end didn't quite work for Marty got a chance now I think that's a bit tight yeah he knows it might get a thin edge here oh he's a lucky boy apologizes to Gary Jack is still alive though yeah Gary very close oh thought that was going to get a nibble but it didn't so another chance for Marty oh thought that was going to drop [Applause] back no it's not it's until the next Ball's delivered yeah Gary just waiting as well both scraped either side of that wow can't get much closer without touching it as it stands though Gary's Gary's lay in one interesting to see the weight Marty plays here if you can put it right in the right corner if he look he'd get three so I think he'll play that nothing else too tight well got the result chipped it to his own so picks up one Gary Cony doing the score three so 93 to Gary seven in played few people have about watching Billy again Marty's playing this just overweight again I this looks too heavy to me yeah there you go just going to move the camera now cuz Jack's come back a fair bit Gary hasn't quite covered it so again I think we'll see Marty just look to try and slide this in the ditch didn't like it yeah just too wide unlucky Gary also playing it now that's going to hold as well I think is it yeah both these players are just missing this Jack every time a better line from Marty this time oh he's unlucky there got Shipwrecked on the ball Gary back to the draw this has been a quick end yeah this is good this not a toucher though not that is of any concern cuz he's got the only two balls on the mat slightly awkward that now to be fair Marty could play forehand here and he could um push the jack off he's sticking with the backand I think that's going to R again oh he's close oh that's a great ball superb bow perfect we I think that just allowed it to draw back picked up the Jack very good ball so yeah Gary doesn't bother with his last ball so one to Marty great ball there I'm sure we'll be playing a replay of that later in the day so Marty claws on back 948 ends Marty back to drawing in now good start [Applause] that's all right that finish up behind the Jack open at a fraction but uh two good balls in place hi I'm Martin we've obviously not watched uh this streaming live ourselves yet it's a new streaming service we're using that incorporates uh YouTube as well as Facebook um so it's likely that the streaming runs via YouTube first then into Facebook so apologies if the commentary is just slightly behind um we will be reviewing the videos at the end of today and looking at it uh hopefully it's not uh too much of an inconvenience I think we've certainly noticed that the quality of the video is a bit better than than through Facebook live so back here Marty wants to pick this Jack just holding off we've got uh 33 brand new y green lights uh new mats being used this weekend they're certainly running a little bit truer but uh we'll see how they handle over the weekend so Gary Last Bow of this ninth end just wants to draw up not of the Jack there might still be two no I think it's just one there so Mark wants to look at it just come around just waiting for an Umpire to come uh over John jillings is coming down he's umpiring this session so he'll come and measure for us you hard to tell from here does look close maybe just fancy Martis which is the uh Bowl on the right one taken out so far for [Applause] Gary as I said earlier to you on commentary don't forget you can check out all the live videos results as they happen lots more on our website shm players.com come you can also click through to the groups full group standings and uh stay with us throughout the weekend yep so Mart's rolled out so 10 four to Gary nine ends three ends to play so here we go n 10 good start from Gary toucher yeah Marty's just going to reach this again be interesting to see the weight he plays for this yeah again unlucky there really ball will now be that's got to be lifted first ball everyone just getting used to the new rules that's a good ball from Gary hasn't framed it just wants to push and run yeah Fair effort from Marty arel just look for the split here now pushes own through or get on to Martis and in the Gap yeah very good has left a bit of a frame for Marty now so it looks slightly easier on the forehand to me Marty's not sure so she's playing yard over but uh get wider the target he caught in two mins there a bit really thanks for the feedback Martin interesting to know that we'll like I say we will have a look at this uh later on if we feel it's uh not working well we'll just go back to the usual Facebook live stuff so Marty just missing with his last ball there I think that was one one to Gary one to Gary yeah so it's 114 now for Gary after 10 end so playing the penultimate end now [Applause] [Music] yeah two good balls from Gary Marty now need to just look to slide into this slot a little bit over I think it's just going to be pass the jaet but we sit behind it just caught his ball first so that slid it away a little bit yeah good again from Gary Gary obviously the uh current World Council singles champion been playing very well on the tour over the last three or four years so Marty two down it's just drawing through at the back that's a good ball there gives him a chance to score with his last ball yes hi Gunner missing you mate

very good yeah this looks close on Gary here very good very good indeed so Marty just need to bump onto that Jack now push the ball away don't quite got the weight might just do it yeah didn't quite
