Jackson Page: Welshman makes history with two 147 breaks in same match

Jackson Page has become the first player to make a maximum 147 break twice in one match as he took a step closer to qualifying for the World Snooker Championship.

The 23-year-old Welshman had made his first 147 on Sunday, during the eighth frame of his third-round qualifying match against England’s Allan Taylor.

Resuming the match on Monday, leading 8-1 and needing only two frames to complete victory, Page racked up another maximum to clinch a 10-2 win.

Page’s achievement has secured him the £147,000 Triple Crown bonus and a place in the final round of qualifiers.

He will meet either Joe O’Connor or Iulian Boiko in the fourth qualifying round, dubbed Judgement Day.
