Gilchrist
created history by scoring career's second 1000+ break
History was created
in the game of Billiards in Ireland today when Peter Gilchirst hit
his career's second 1000+ break against Northern Ireland's cueist
Chritian Kirk. But like so many other great moments of sports after
achieving a goal all steam runs out, so was the case with Peter when
he missed a pot in the very next shot after making history.
Peter is now the first player in the
modern game to have two 1000+ breaks.
Today's break was played mainly in
floating white top of the table, but he struggled to continue on the
same several times at around before crossing the 500-mark. He had
three consecutive difficult screw cannons before he could work
himself into perfect position again.
He once again
landed himself in trouble on 844 as he required an extremely thin
long loser to get back into position, which he mastered to
perfection.
Continuing his
break to 891, he got a covered position, where he needed a
short-range 'masse' to continue, which he mastered as well !
The 1000-break
prize was sponsored by mywebsport.com of Austria.
