Dominic Dale retiring after this season

Crazy to think he was one frame away from a World Semi only 4 years ago

I think the problem is these players can still perform their best at times - Ebdon reaching a final recently for example. There is nothing to suggest Dale can't repeat what Hamilton did a few yeas ago and win a tournament in your late 40's.

I guess its the dropping off the tour that has made him come to this conclusion.
