SNOOKER fans will be flocking to Doncaster on Thursday to watch two sporting legends go head to head.
Jimmy White and Alex Higgins will be at the Dome as part of their UK tour and will be playing each other, as well as local players and one lucky member of the audience.
Having won a total of 23 professional titles, Jimmy White is no stranger to competition and has been runner-up six times in the Snooker World Championship.
Alex Higgins, described as snooker's most outrageously talented player, won the World Professional Snooker Championship when he was 23.
Born in Belfast in 1949, Alex started playing snooker at the age of 10. He went on to win other competitions including the Benson and Hedges Masters twice, and was Irish Champion from 1972 until 1980.
The evening will start at 7pm. Tickets for the event are £20-£50 and can be purchased by visiting www.the-dome.co.uk/events
The Guardian has teamed up with The Crown Hotel, Bawtry, to offer one lucky winner two tickets for the snooker evening at the Dome, as well as dinner, bed and breakfast at the luxury hotel.
The Crown Hotel is set in the town of Bawtry which is on the borders of South Yorkshire, Lincolnshire and Notts, and is within easy reach of Doncaster, Sheffield, York and Leeds.
With a contemporary style and numerous amenities including WiFi and free parking, promoters say this is the ideal setting for those who appreciate the finer things in life.
To be in with a chance of winning this prize, simply answer the following question.
