Kevin Ashby turned the clock back to his glory years this week when he knocked in a wonderful break of 107 to re-capture the form he used to show on a regular basis. Playing for Windows Warehouse against Blossom Way B in the Premier Section he was paired against Phil Robinson and after winning his first frame, he let loose in the next, just breaking down when missing the yellow with a possible 134 on.
