Bond wins in front of capacity audience in Portsmouth!

Nigel Bond won the Wyldecrest Park Homes World Seniors Championship without conceding a frame in his four matches at the Mountbatten Centre in Portsmouth.

Bond, who still plays on the main tour and is ranked 45 in the world, beat Welshman Tony Chappel 2-0 in the best-of-three final having seen off Dennis Taylor, Tony Knowles and last year�s winner Darren Morgan en route to the final.

Both finalists had come through qualifying to claim their place in the tournament and former World Championship finalist Bond took a close first frame 68-54 after both players missed opportunities to take a 1-0 lead by potting the black.

The second frame was more one-sided with breaks of 33 and 28 helping Bond to take it 66-4 and claim the �18,000 prize money.

�It is a great feeling,� he said on collecting his trophy. �It has been a great weekend, all of the players have enjoyed it.

�I think I played a bit scrappy yesterday and only really got going in the second frame against Chappel but then I felt I got into a nice rhythm. I was playing great on the practise table but sometimes it is not always easy to put it out there on the match table.�

Runner-up Chappel conceded the best player won. �I have really enjoyed it and I have got further than I expected to get,� he said. �The better man definitely won. Nigel is a tour player and you could see on the table that he was playing like one and looked like one, and that was the difference.�
