At Arnold - Sean KELLY had a 37 break.
At Cotgrave, part way into the pairs frame, it was known that the frame scores were 3-3 and at that stage Arnold were 22 ? points adrift. 2 reds left on and Andy took a red into the corner and got perfect position for the black into the centre running the white round the table for the final red. BUTTTTT the white clipped the brown and went in-off in the opposite middle. Without this it would have reduced the deficit to 15? but infact it increased it to 29?. The Arnold pair never got into the frame again after that and the frame/match was conceded with the blue still on the table.
Well played Cotgrave, best of luck in the semi's
