Got back bout 1 hour ago from the local tourney.
I ended up taking part and i got to the 1/4 Finals.
The guy who organised the tourney asked me if i wanted to play,as one of the participents called up,saying he was ill.
At first i said,no,i,ve just come to watch,but after a few mins,i said,ah,what the hell,aye,i,ll take part.
I had,nt picked up a cue for bout 10,11 weeks,i did,nt even have my cue with me and i was,nt wearing clothes that were comfortable in playing in,so considering all of that,i was pleased with the way i played.
In General the frames i played,i played ok,potted some toughish pots/frame balls.I struggled with positional Play,my safety was mostly top notch,i missed too many pots one should get though.
The standard this time was lowish,there was only about fifteen 30+ breaks made,the highest bein only 54,with 32 Players takin part.
I started off Pretty poor,missed a good few easish pots,played garbage position,my safety was mediocre,but i managed to win,very narrowly 2-1.
One of my other matches,which i won 2-0,in the 1st frame,i was about 31 ahead,then my Opponent came back at me,thanks to me pottin the white about 4,5 times,him getting points due to him layin a few tough snookers,along with him gettin a few lucky snookers which i failed to escape from
With just pink n black left,i needed a snooker,i ended up laying one,in which he failed to escape from,directly after that,i potted the pink and potted a missable black to the middle bag.
The 2nd frame i won Pretty comfortably.
My 1/4 final match,which was also only a best of 3!,i lost 2-0,i did,nt have much chance as my Opponent played very well,i missed 2 gettable pots to the middle,other than that,i hardly had a decent chance,bar a few long ones.
The guy who beat me in the 1/4ers,ended up Winning the tourney.
Very well done to Selby,he,s back to his usual,comes back from being behind and wins the decider.
Also congrats to Gilbert,in beating Ford and on reaching his 4th Ranking Final.
