World Championship Sensation..............................................

...........................Cuesports Online does it again!!!!

David Gray 10 frames - Ronnie O'Sullivan 9 frames

DAVID GRAY, a member of Colours, Redhill re-wrote the form-book when he beat Ronnie O'Sullivan by 10 frames to 9 at the Crucible, Sheffield in the first round of the World Snooker Championship.

An Astonishing Double

Following on the astonishing defeat of World Champion Stephen Hendry by outsider Stuart Bingham - yes, folks another Cuesports Online player - click here for THAT astonishing story! [Basildon Snooker] DAVID GRAY turned over in-form and hotly-tipped-for-the-title Ronnie O'Sullivan in this incredible topsy-turvy Championship.

No Excuses

A bigger sensation than Bingham's defeat of Hendry? "Well" says Haydn Davies, manager of Redhill, "Ronnie had just come off a great win in the Scottish Masters, only last week, and took the current World No.1, Mark Williams apart 9-1 in the process." Even more incredible, O'Sullivan played very well - no 'out-of-form' excuses from O'Sullivan. As Haydn says, "DAVID GRAY showed the kind of form, consistency and temperament of someone way above his world ranking of 60."

Redhill is Buzzing

Seventy-five years young Doug Melchior, Redhill's long established table maintenance carer, and DAVID GRAY's Godfather and mentor, was thrilled by his godson's remarkable victory. "I have always believed that David has what it takes", says Doug, "ever since he won the World Amateur Championship at the tender age of sixteen." Just a little bit of hindsight from a fond godfather? Not a bit of it! Doug says with a smile, "By the way, I had £20 on David winning the match at 7-to-1 and I predict a Quarter or Semi-final place at least. Oh, and Haydn if its alright with you I'm off to Sheffield at the week-end!". And off he goes with the best wishes of Haydn, the staff and members of Redhill.

Round Two - and the 'Redhill Return'

In the next round DAVID GRAY faces Dominic Dale, with Doug ringside.But David has his priorities right.As Haydn says, "He has promised to play in the Redhill Sunday Night handicap as soon as Sheffield is over". Something to look forward to around May. Watch this space.
