Jason (who entered the competition for the first time) enjoying the run of the balls raced into a 3-nill lead with a top break of 46 in the second frame.

David who had struggled in the early frames pulled 2 frames back with good potting & cue ball  control.

In the sixth frame Jason started with a fine 32 before losing position and playing a good safety.

Dave potted a good long red but the cue ball finished in the back of the pack. After two misses he hit the black but left Jason a red into the centre pocket.

Jason then with a lot of composure scored a 51 break to win the frame & match.
