FOUR Midlands snooker players have booked places in the last-16 of a national championship for players aged 40 and over.
The cueing quartet progressed through a qualifying tournament for the English Masters Championship at the Midlands Snooker Academy, Walsall.
Darryn Walker (Wolverhampton), John Rees (Ware, Herts), Jamie Bodle (Derby) and Graham Beardmore (Stoke) now face a trip to Leeds in December.
Walker dropped just one frame - to Rees - out of 13 and recorded the day’s highest break of 82 to top his five-man round-robin group.
Two-time runner-up Bodle won all five of his matches in a group of six. Beardmore, beaten only by Bodle, finished second.
