Losing semi finalists Sean Hopkin and Bash Maqsood both receiving £10 but more importantly the ranking points that may enable them to qualify for the Grand Finals in November.

That was quick Wayne!

Ashley's 135 clearance in practise was fantastic.  He's different class that guy!

:bravo:

Very happy right now knowing im in the finals day!!!!

:happy:

Well done mate, And i think its safe to say that you are proving to become a great player. :welldone:
I think you have Barry to thank! :happy:

:bravo:

[Wayne Martin]

Thanks Steve - I knew there was quite a bit of interest in the ranking list and finishing positions so thought I'd better do it quickly.

Many thanks for getting the rankings out so quickly as well.

It's fair to say that Ashley Walker was in a different league yesterday and I hope it decides to try the pro ranks again.
He was sublime in the tournament but in practise he was mental to play against.
I had six frames with him yesterday and he made a 135 clearance (brilliant), 82 and 5 other breaks over 50 - tremendous.
He kindly let me win one frame lol

Well done to everyone for turning up and competing yesterday, I'm glad to be back at work today so that I don't have Mr Hopkin constantly asking how winning that frame has affected his ranking lol.

It was a great atmosphere with everyone trying to get into the top 16 - especially those on the outer limits of qualification.

I am doing the draw today and will get it posted on the forum.
Handicaps will follow shortly once we have confirmed them all with Mike Langdon.

I plan to have 3 reserve spaces for the day as well - just in case people don't turn up - these will probably be those people finishing in 17th, 18th and 19th place.
