Rosa storms into semi-finals with handicap double ton
Adrian Rosa racked up two centuries as he stormed back from losing the first frame to beat Dean Trubshaw and reach the semi-finals of the Aldridge & District League Individual Handicap.
Trubshaw made the most of his handicap to take the opener, but from then on it was one-way traffic as breaks of 111, 110 and 65 saw Rosa through to the next round.
Jack Harris joined him in the next round as he saw off the challenge of Andy Price in a 3-1 win in another strong showing which included breaks of 51, 45, 42, 41 and 30.
Lee Bannister also went through as he eventually overcame Mike Beadmore in a close-fought 3-2 win away from home, which was aided by two breaks of 31.
The final tie saw Scott Corser upset Wednesfield Cons player Paul Harrison as he made the most of his handicap advantage to secure an excellent win.
Corser took the opening two frames and, despite losing frame three, it was to be his night as he took frame four to seal a 3-1 win.
