Rob Cross is through to the Semi-Finals at the World Matchplay but he was pushed all the way by Stephen Bunting.
Cross spoke after his 16-14 win and commended his opponent calling him a real credit to himself and an incredible player.
Despite that though he said he used his Premier League form to edge through and that he’s daring to dream of the title now.
"Stephen was incredible, he was a real credit to himself up there but thankfully I managed to hold tight and come on strong at the end," said Cross.
"Towards the end of the game I managed to find my Premier League form and I think I showed nerves of steel.
"I've learnt a lot over the last two years and I'm starting to get there now. Hopefully there will be a happy ending for me here."

- I might actually enter this next year,for £5 and an egg cup! It's a disgrace considering the previous champions. I won't be watching,and I doubt many others will either. Taylor, Barney, Burnett, Hankey, Wolfie,you'd win this with your eyes closedrick6705-11-2024
- Shame that Beau has got Noppert first, he is less likely to fold, Schindler or Menzies may well of. Still think she can win the group, even if not can still qualify for the knockout stages.Mysstree05-11-2024
- I agree with the other posts here. Cameron Menzies did absolutely nothing wrong... he showed some passion-being a human - which is good to see. The last thing we want is grey/woke robot players who are far too afraid to show any emotions whatsoever. Woke is killing most sports and is having far-reaching consequences - in general.MrYnyslas197105-11-2024
- I don't actually see the problem,he was insulting only to himself,as a reaction to his victory. I don't think anyone else was affected,so what's the issue?rick6704-11-2024
