It was still a 94 average with two 180's and 10/16 on the doubles which usually plagues the St Helens ace as he did a professional job against a 76.6 average from the former World Youth Champion.
In terms of high checkouts he took out 148, 147 and 140 to cap off the brilliant performance and show his class on the doubles.
