Yorkshire Championship Q2 Round-Up

After 9 hours of snooker the final 4 qualifiers for this years Yorkshire Snooker Championship were decided yesterday at the NSC.
First player through was last year’s winner Peter Lines, comfortable victories against Craig Nicholson, Gavin Godfree and Michael Whaley seeing him into this years quarter-finals.
Next player through was South Yorkshire’s Shaun Wilkes who despatched Lionel Payne, Scott Sigsworth and Dave Pagett along the way.
Bradford’s Josh Walker took the third quarter-final spot, coming from behind to beat Mike Lucas in the final qualifying match. Walker had earlier beaten Chris Hart, Chris Cooke and James Dabell.
The last qualifying spot went to Huddersfield’s Robert Read. Read battled past Steve Peace, Tony Massey and Jake Crofts before facing Gary Milne in the last match of the day. Milne had earlier had breaks of 104,62,53,59 and 95 in his 3 victories and when he took a 2-1 lead against Read he looked on course to be going through. Read had other ideas though, and he levelled at 2-2 before a superb 58 break in the decider gave him the match.
