The fourth edition of the Chris Barnes Challenge took place in Norwich tonight with Alex Aguiar as Barnes’ opponent, and Aguiar continued his domination of Barnes from their earlier encounter in the Match Play Championship. I never got the final score on Xtra Frame, but an early sign of how the night was going to go for Barnes was when he whiffed on a 10 pin in the second frame, and Aguiar remained clean throughout to win the first game 224-192. Aguiar converted a couple of splits early in the second game, but suffered a 2-8-10 near the end of the game. Aguiar still won that game 178-166 to take a 44 pin lead into the third game (402-358), and then sealed the win by running off the first five in the final game while Barnes had no answer.
The match should soon be archived on Xtra Frame for those who missed it.
