Harold roars back to stun Ebdon

PETER EBDON lost his grip on the Irish Masters title in Dublin last night. The 2002 world champion lost 5-4 in a gruelling match against Dave Harold after being 4-1 up.

A Citywest semi-finalist two years ago, Harold took a 46-minute decider 80-39 to clinch a meeting with Jimmy White.

“At 4-1 I thought I was going home,” admitted the world number 34.
