played at Spot On Sneinton on the 23rd December (table 10...lovely fast table)
Both players slow out of the blocks but i made a run of 18 to get my nose in front in the opener and never looked back. 2nd frame saw me in charge from the start but a missed frame ball green nearly cost me. Dan laid a snooker which seemed quite easy to escape from but I failed three times and then left a free ball. Dan failed to make the most of this and left me a really brave Pink to take on which i made to make it 2 nil. Big moment in the match and I doubt I'll pot a better frame ball for the rest of the season.
Dan got going in the third frame scoring well whilst I seemed to be going backwards on the scoreboard in a frame where I kept going in-off and fouling which Dan punished me for. Can't remember too much about the last frame but I kept it much tighter and scored well including a 20 something break to really put me in control and able to see the finishing line.
Unlucky Dan, perhaps if you had won the second you may have had the momentum in the match but at two nil this potentially tricky tie for me was always gonna be a big ask for you to turn around. Enjoyed as always.
Well played Mike! Sometimes Dan does well against you!
