Rory sweet revenge over Patrick

It was a sweet revenge for Rory Thor as he beats Patrick Ooi to win Leg 6 at A One Snooker & Pool Club, Kepong.

Compared to the day before where 4 centuries were made in the Quarter Finals, the Semi Finals were a more tighter affair with a lot of safety exchanges. Both matches with very close frame scores produced not so close finals scores as Rory and Patrick won Lai Chee Wei and Lee Hwa Meng with score lines of 4-2 and 4-1 respectively.

Rory broke off in the Final and immediately went ahead to a 2-0 lead but received a immense reply as Patrick fought back, winning 3 frames in a row to lead back 3-2. Frame 6 saw a bit of struggle in the beginning and it was Rory who prevailed and reeled in the next 3 frames to win the match 5-3.
