Maryland Capital Open

Tuesday, February 17th, 2009

In Washington DC playing in the above event. 1st round today v Andrew Mcdoughal of Canada. I started pretty strong 11-3 up in the 1st… But a bit of a lapse in concentration gave Andy a chance to get into the match and he took the second 16-14. Even though I lost it I took alot out of him and I managed to close the next 2 games out 11-3 11-4. Tough match tomorrow v Patrick Chifunda

Mount Pleasant Open

Tuesday, February 3rd, 2009

first event of the new year was th MP OPen, an Irish Gran Prix event. I made the way to the final with relative ease but was far from playing well. My first 2 rounds were in 3 but concentration levels were way off. In the semis i played keith Moran and again won in 3. I was a little better but knew i needed a big improvement to win in the final.

Here i played Derek Ryan and lost in 3. Physically i was fine but just wasn’t match sharp. That is kind of what i needed though, so with some tough practise games lined up, i should be perfect for the next event in washington DC in febuary …
