English Amateur Championship 2014
There's been regional qualifiers, then there are Northern and Southern Last 16s, playing down to two finalists from each who play the Northern and Southern finals on the Saturday of finals weekend (7th June), and the winners then play for the English Championship on the Sunday of finals weekend (8th June). One thing I like about this is that as well as the regulars on the Premier Tour, it also draws good amateurs from around the country who don't have the time or inclination to participate in the Premier Tour.
Ant Parsons had a 133 break in his regional qualifying.
One or two surprises as always. Troy Brett beat Steven Hallworth in Round 3 of the East Midlands qualifying, whilst Luke Garland was unlucky enough to be drawn against (and lose to) Mitchell Mann in the West Midlands qualifiers, and despite 3 century breaks in his two matches, Zak Surety went down to Damian Wilks in the 2nd round of the South East qualifiers. Also in that round, Sam Harvey lost 4 - 3 to Matt Glasby, and in the third round Michael Georgiou beat Shane Castle 4 - 1.
The Northern Last 16 results (played at Northern Snooker, Leeds on 26/27 April)
Oliver Lines in stunning form.
