[Jamie Sampson]

I watched the final and  i have to say Sean kept his cool very well going 2 nil down an excellent 65 in the 3rd and a pressure filled dishup on the colours in the 4th by this time rik was rattled .

[James Robinson]

Yep well done the snake, 2-0 down i walk through the door (after going home for some dinner) and then he turns into a potting machine, certainly looked he saved his best for when i got back.

I enjoyed the day i got be honest, yeah i didnt play well ( but thats nothing new for me  ) though it was nice to get down to one which ive never done before due to work, and ok he didnt play well himself but to play bash was also a experiance some of his exhibition shots just had me amazed.
