Dynamic Dutchman survives Crocodile attack

DYNAMIC young Dutch star Jelle Klaasen last night maintained his relentless march towards the Lakeside World Championship final with a 5-4 victory over Paul Hogan in Frimley Green.

The fast-throwing 21-year-old survived a superb comeback from his opponent, in their quarter-final, after leading 4-1 thanks to more of the exciting play he has produced throughout the tournament.

But Hogan, who lives only six miles from the Lakeside complex, in Basingstoke, dug deep to force a deciding set from first-timer Klaasen.
