‘I just felt edgy’ – Mark Allen overcomes early nerves to dismantle Chang Bingyu to advance in Northern Ireland Open
Mark Allen admitted he had to overcome some nerves during his 4-1 victory over Chang Bingyu, as the home favourite made a solid start to his Northern Ireland Open defence. The Antrim man made a couple of errors as he lost the opening frame — something he puts down to nerves. But he quickly gathered his composure at the Waterfront, Belfast, to win the next four and seal his place in the second round.
