What an absolute cracker of a match and a 14 maxer from Cillian, who now equals the all time score from the Series 86 champion Tom Stevenson with 154 points take nothing away from Chris he had some good spots but were not enough to match the sparkling from of Cillian. If he can keep up this kind of form I reckon he will reach the dizzying heights of Octochampdom......join me again for the next recap......in the meantime it is bye for now !
