Couple of things I wanted to put on here over the last few days but in the wake of the sad death of Willie Thorne I didnt feel right, but with the next tournement today, I should update a few things
in fairness it should be over, Trump won the first 3 frames to go 8-3 ahead and was in first missed a ball you would have expected him to pot, Higgins then fluked a red which if he missed he was leaving Trump in among them again.
it should have been over before the mid session but now Trump has to wait longer but surely all Higgins has done is delay the inevitable in this match
