Malta’s Drago edged out Mark Davis 4-3 in the quarter-finals, despite letting slip a 3-0 lead. Davis made a 137 total clearance in frame four then took the fifth thanks to a fluke on the last red, and added the next with a run of 98 for 3-3. The decider came down to the colours and 57-year-old Drago cleared from brown to pink for victory.
We’re all proud of you, Tony.
Drago defeated Mark Davis in an exhilarating rollercoaster of a match to reach the semi-finals of the @llp_solicitors World Seniors Championship.
