Frame 1
First frame both of us started slowly with none of us wanting to give each other chances and both playing very cagey I was ahead and just needed the pink to win the frame a few safety shots later Manfred trying to go for the pink left me with it over the bag for me to go 1-0.

Frame 2
Another tight frame with Rob managing to keep his lead all the way through just potting some nice balls and just managing to keep Manfred at arms length with Manfred having good chances to get the snookers he required but I managed to get over the line.

Frame 3
Last frame I knew it was mine to lose 2-0 up and Manfred not playing near the level I know he is capable of I got to the stage were I needed the last red and black for Manfred to require snookers. I pot the red and cued the black really well but the tight pockets on table 9 left it over the bag and Manfred took me all the way into the colours. I managed to pot green and missed the brown and Manfred was trying to get the snooker he required however I managed to pot the blue down the rail to take the frame and match.
