2013 Tournament

FINAL

Rileys Belle Vue - 24th April 2013
Dean Sheridan beat Michael Wild 6-4
- Michael won a scrappy first frame, but then Dean took the initiative, winning four in a row to lead 4-1, including an excellent 74 clearance in the third and snatching the fourth on the black ball
- Wild then staged a recovery, aided by consecutive breaks of 127 and 91, to draw level at 4-4
- An even ninth frame eventually went to a respotted black after Wild took the colours superbly to level; Sheridan missed one easy opportunity but finally took the frame to regain the lead
- In the tenth it was close again. Wild was in with a good chance to clear from the penultimate red, but went in-off. Sheridan took the chance to establish a good lead, leaving Wild needing snookers. The concession followed.
