I wrote the scores on the back of a magazine which I can't find so this is the best I can do...

First frame I missed a load of sitters early on and Jordan efficiently took advantage to open up a 40 odd lead.  I managed to settle a little and needed a snooker (maybe 2) with about 1 red remaining.  I got the snooker(s?) and had a good chance to get back in and missed ANOTHER sitter and Jordan left me needing snookers again and took the frame.

In frame 2 I opened up a decent lead and felt in control of the frame.  Down to the green and Jordan needed 1 snooker.  Jordan potted green and brown then somehow fluked a snooker on the blue.  Although I needed the rest, it was one I should have hit and somehow missed it.  A few safeties later and I then missed an easy blue a couple of shots later which would surely have sealed it.  I think I even missed another pot to win it and Jordan gratefully sunk the black to nick it.

The last 2 frames were a landslide to Jordan as I began to lose the plot and Jordan relaxed and started to play with the freedom that comes when you have a lead.

I must admit, I felt like the Snooker Gods were against me in the second frame.  However, to let it get to me and miss more chances like I did was unforgiveable really.  Giving up the ghost  like that in the last 2 frames was also rather pathetic and kind of sums up my season.

Looking at the table Jordan, you're 2 points from top.  On current for you might just catch Paul.

Great result Jordan.  Well played mate. :bravo:

Let me know if I missed anything Jordan, as I was relying on memory from a week ago.
