Wilson crushes Dale to reach second round at Crucible

KYREN WILSON missed out on another Crucible maximum but completed a comprehensive win over Dominic Dale at the World Snooker Championship in Sheffield.


Wilson potted 11 reds and blacks in the final frame but ran short on a mid-range red as he aimed to repeat the 147 he had fashioned against Ryan Day at the same stage last year.


Nevertheless, the 32-year-old won the two frames required this morning to wrap up a 10-1 win, the most comprehensive victory at the Crucible since Mark Selby’s win over Kurt Maflin by the same score in 2021.
