Frame 1,
Steve looked in good touch, and went 20 odd points ahead early on, only for gary to storm back ahead. Good exchanges of saftey play, led to a tense finish, which gary pulled away towards the end, but a good effort by steve.
frame 2
Can some1 please tell Mr Winters that its just not polite to let me think i have a frame tied up, 30 odd points ahead only for him to clear the table and pinch it with a 41 clearance! Proberbly one of the best frames ive been involved in for a while, not really for the quality, but gritty play. Unfiortunately, i lost the white twice once i forced errors, and didnt capitalise enough. Saying that, proberbly my one error, let in chris for a really good 41 to win the frame 48-58.  :welldone:
Frame 3
Niomi tried her best to hold back James, and tried to keep it tight, but James pulled away in front early on. Niomi made 4 reds, but each time missed tricky colours. Not many break building opportunities for either, which reflects the low scoring result of 41-4
Frame 4
I didnt really perform in this frame, and missed two tricky (although i was potting them for fun practising) reds, which would have left break building opportunitities. Saying that, it wasnt a formality for the arnold pair, until chris stepped up and cleared the table with a 40 break.

A solid away performance and 4-0 away result or arnold. We did our best to keep it tight and make it difficult but credit to your guys for a good win, to take the overall match result 6-2
Not sure of the frames scaore on all, but a fantastic away 2-2 draw by Gaz, Ryan and roger. Well done fellas
