I'm guessing that when Matt woke up this morning his first thought was "how the hell did I not win last night"
I found myself 2 up by winning 2 frames I should never had the chance of winning. Both were won on the black having been some 20 odd points behind going into the colours. In both frames Matt went in off at a crucial stage and I also fluked a frame winning black by making a cross treble when trying to play safe.
Despite being 2 up there was little doubt that Matt was cueing and scoring the better of the two players and in the third frame held off my comeback late in the frame to pull one back. It was soon all level with Matt now sensing I was there for the taking.
Final frame was just like the others seeing Matt build up a steady lead with me just trying to hang in there until the colours. We both had a great opportunity each to win the frame but both missed fairly routine blues with both pink and black close to pockets. Finally I seize my chance potting a good blue with the rest before tapping in the pink and black.
Unlucky Matt...I definetely used up one of my get out of jail cards tonight. thanks for the match mate
