Newsflash….
It was nearly a good night for Barry Hopkins Jnr who was beating Scott Morland 8-7 in the club championship until Scott was forced to suspend play due to personal reasons. Barry has agreed to resume play on Saturday from the same scoreline in which he hopes to progress to the next round. This was incredibly nice of him to do this as he is within his rights to claim the game and progress without resuming play.
Barry forced several weighted shots from and probably would have gone on to win as Scott was struggling with the weather conditions. We shall see what sort of game it is at the weekend as all is left to play for for both players.
