UK Championship 2015
York Barbican, York – 24 November – 6 December, 2015.Neil won the UK Championship for the second time, beating Wenbo by 10-5. It was the first ever UK final, in 39 instalments, not featuring a UK or Irish player. Neil also made the first ever 147 in a UK Championship final in frame 6 of the match. It was the first in a triple crown final.
But Wenbo did play his part and many will have warmed to this lovely, animated boy who takes everyone along with him in his journey at the table. And he’s in the top 16 now, Masters bound!
Here is the award ceremony:
and Neil’s maximum
Cutest picture of the tournament: Wenbo with his wife, son and Neil’s son. The two boys had a lot of fun togeteher on and under the table in the VIP room!
