Thank you Observer. An epic struggle that could have gone either way and obviously a lot closer than the mismatch predicted by the good Capt. All that's needed now is for Numbers to keep me company in the last 16.

And so as it had to be, we are down to just 2 Zeds.
The 2-1 scoreline of my defeat by Keith suggests the game was closer than it really was. In truth, Keith played all the Pool in the first two frames, and only the cruellest of in-offs for the white following the black in frame 2, gave me a chance of a third frame which I hadn't deserved. Having said that the 3rd frame proved to be the most competitive of the 3. There was a moment when had I been able to convert a difficult chance, the game might have opened up for me. But the chance was spurned and Keith proceeded to take out a majestic finish.

So Keith now has the advantage, being already into the last 16, where hopefully John will join him next week.
