Danny Ford is the 2022 ADPL Challenge Trophy Champion!
Danny reached the final today dropping only a single frame on his way there. He was faced with the much experienced Roy Middleton, reaching his second final in the space of seven days! Danny found himself two frames in front before Roy responded and got himself on the board. The fourth frame was a pivotal frame in the match, both players played out a series of tactical safety play before Danny opted to take first blow and attempted to take the frame away; he runs out of position and retreats. Roy has a chance but he painfully watches on as the white ball disappears down the pocket and Danny takes out the frame for 3-1. Roy's luck didn't improve in the next frame where he wen in-off from his break shot, Danny looked to be on course for a reverse dish but he runs out of position on his last red and sees his effort agonisingly stay out of the pocket and allow Roy back in! Roy starts potting his colours only to see his white disappear and give Danny two shots. Danny makes no mistake and wins the frame to nudge 4-1 in front. Roy wasn't done just yet, he managed to get himself into a position to secure the next frame and claw the score back to 4-2. It was a short lived revival though as Danny took out the last frame for the Title!
Commiserations to Big Midders. Congratulations to Danny; he played extremely well all day.
