December 2004 -
Andy Jenkins has been involved in some exceptional television
matches throughout 2004. This event was to prove no exception. Just
as in Bolton, Las Vegas, Blackpool and Dublin Andy was edged out in
a thrilling match. In today's fourth round Andy came up against old friend Kevin Painter. Andy took the opening set before Kevin replied with two sets back to back. Andy then forged ahead 3-2 before Kevin staged a remarkable comeback and took the match by reeling off six of the last seven legs. |

 28 December 2004 -
At Monday's Cosham Open Aussie Simon "The Wizard" Whitlock (left)
beat England International Paul Hogan in the final.A remarkable feat considering he had only been in the UK about six hours and had come to the event directly from the airport. Simon joins an impressive list of previous winners with the earlier events being won by Lionel Sams, Andy Jenkins and James Wade all of whom were in World Championship action this week. The Australian first came to prominence two years ago in the World Championship at Purfleet when he ousted Peter Manley before going down to Richie Burnett. Since then he has dominated his domestic scene in Australia and currently holds a number of the biggest titles down under and is here for a tilt at the Lakeside World title next week. Not content with this Simon then went to the resurrected Eastleigh Open the following day and picked that title up as well with a win over Sam Rooney. Colin Monk had won both previous stagings of this event in 1999 and 2000. Jane Monaghan won the first Cosham Ladies Open beating Stacey Wheeler but could only come second to Laura Power in the Eastleigh Open. James Wade and Sally Smith took the top prize at the Metropole Mixed Pairs in Deepcut also held on Tuesday beating Steve Shadwell and Debbie Porter. |

| 26 December 2004 - James Wade was unfortunate to run into a resurgent Mark Holden in the opening round of the event. The “Top Banana” was in devastating form as he led two nil and despite a spirited fightback and an 11 darter that gave James the lead in the third set Mark continued in the same rich vein of form to run out a 3-0 winner. | |
