Mike Langdon 3-1 Wayne Bilbie
Frame 1
Very scrappy first frame with the balls all pushed over to the left hand pocket. Langdon won the safety exchanges and gradually built up a commanding lead by simply picking off single reds with a colour and running safe ( i also enjoyed a good run of the balls as when i did miss i left nothing on about 6 occasions!....LUCKY LANGDON!!!) 1-0
Frame 2
This frame was a lot more open but Bilbie, heavy with cold was really starting to struggle with far too many uncharactaristic misses which Langdon, who was potting well lapped up making several small 15 & 16 breaks to go two up.
Frame 3
Wayne got off to a good start in this frame with a 16 break and started to show glimpses of the player he usually is. Sealed the frame by sinking Yellow, Green and Brown. 2-1.
Frame 4
The final frame was very similar to the first with the balls running akward which suited Langdon who was on the back foot after Bilbie's responce in the third frame. Managed to sink Brown Blue and Pink to win the frame and match. 3-1.
good win mike.
Question how many flukes did you have? :laugh:
Hi James, Lots of the more subtle flukes tonight ie not leaving anything on when i missed (Probably about 12 i reckon).
I wasn't quite on my usual flamboyant fluking game tonight.....i'm saving that for Nav in the Notts Am :laugh:
