Deadly Davis reaches Crucible
Mark Davis produced a stunning performance to reach the televised stage of snooker's premier event.
The St Leonards cueman will join the game's greats at The Crucible Theatre, Sheffield, next month in the 888.com World Snooker Championship.
Davis, 35, hammered the higher ranked Gerard Greene 10-2 in the final round of qualifying at the English Institute of Sport, Sheffield, on Saturday.
Rainham-based Greene compiled a break of 138 en route to a 2-0 lead, but Davis clinched a 61-minute third frame on the pink to spark the turnaround.
He then reeled off the following nine frames, including a 137 break in frame seven, to book his place in the final 32 for the first time since 2001.
