Lee Thorn successfully defended his position against Nick Lester, who was already playing his second match of the season. Lee remains in 39th position and Nick in 43rd.

Mark Taylor travelled to Spot On Hucknall to take on Ben Cox and he came away with a 3-0 victory that sees him climb to 44th position on the Ladder.

Don't forget to inform me of any breaks over 50 so that I can add them to the High Break Board on the Nottingham Snooker website.

We have already seen 13 matches played during the first 8 days of the Ladder, which is fantastic. We also have a further 19 matches pending.

Make sure you play at least one match during September to be in with a chance of winning a one hour coaching session with Michael Holt.
