FORMER professional Stephen James rolled back the years but fell at the final hurdle in his bid to make the next stage of the English Amateur Championship.
James knocked in an 87 break in a 4-2 victory over Gary Miller and added an 81 in a 4-0 whitewash of David Brown in the West Midlands qualifier at Golden Cue Snooker Club, Bilston.
But he went out 4-2 in the next round to Daniel Ward (Darlaston), the 2006 IBSF World Championship runner-up.
Joining Ward for the last-16 south at The Crucible Sports & Social Club, Newbury, on the weekend of April 11-12 are Luke Garland (Dudley), Saqib Nasir (Birmingham), Adam King (Coventry) and Matt Emms (Kidderminster).
EASB Premier Junior Tour high-flier Garland recorded the highest break of the day, a 99 against Richard Haney, which ended with an ‘in-off’ on the green.
