The last 4 quarter finalists are decided.
After a long eight and a half hour day of snooker, the quarter-final lineup for this year’s Yorkshire Snooker Championship has been completed.
The first player through on the second qualifying day was Leeds player Kuldesh Johal, Undoubtedly the star performer on the day “Kully” had breaks of 130,103,94,91 and 82 and qualified without the loss of a frame. A 3-0 victory over Kaif Shazad sealing his place in the last 8.
Next through was Halifax’s Mark Ball, Breaks of 80 and 64 helped him to 4 victories for the loss of just one frame, finishing with a convincing 3-0 win over Ant Green.
The third qualifier was Wakefield “veteran” Mick Stocks. A fine 3-1 win over Scott Raper was the last of his 4 wins.
Finally, at around 7pm, Harrogate’s Tom Harris claimed the fourth qualifying spot with a battling 3-1 defeat of Jason Evans-Bates.
