lol Sem brilliant pic.

[Ekphantos]

this whole ceremony is rather weird

[April madness]

yup, strange indeed. "Be sure you are at the cocktail party" - I think I have to hurry up

[Ekphantos]

this defnitely was the best part of it

[elvaago]

So where was Ryan Day this afternoon? Did Dale play the match by himself?

[Maija]

What an absurd ceremony "Mr or Sir Rodney Walker."

But, yes, congrats to Dominic on his win! A fantastic comeback indeed.

@elvaago: Dale did indeed play the second session himself. Sorta. I think Day got about 50 points in total there.

a game of "toohaffs"

Dom doing well to hang on to Ryan, and then finally stretching away in the second session once hed caught up.

Good final indeed.

Yeah, I thought so too. Not many balls missed.

It looks like we got another welsh bottler coming through the ranks!

Second final he did not show up in the second session (Malta Cup against Murphy).

All praise to Mr. Dale. Quite an achievement to win a ranking tournament after his Grand Prix win in 1997. Well done!

I guess Day and Dale are (provisionally) ranked higher than Williams and Stevens. Who would have thought that? Funny (snooker) world.

i dont think he bottled it, or is a bottler

think he showed great bottle to get there, and just didnt play great in one session where his opponent did

[PaulTheSoave]

I am just curious whether it will creep a bit in his mind, losing two finals. He was leading comfortable here. I know The Malta cup finished 9-4 but cant remember if he was leading in that one as well.

Just found it. Murphy went into the lead 4-0. Different final alltogether
