MIDLANDS teenagers Taylor Fish and Jack Harris have made it through to the last-16 of two national snooker competitions.
Fish (Kidderminster) and Harris (Walsall), along with Chae Ross (Leicester) and Riley Parsons (Cannock), progressed through a qualifying tournament for the English Under-16 Championship at the Atack Snooker Centre, Nuneaton.
Harris booked a place in the next stage of the Under-21s 24 hours earlier while Fish, who practises with professional Lee Page, had done the same in the Under-14s the previous week.
David Hayward, chairman of the Kidderminster Snooker League, said: “All of us have a lot of faith in Taylor.
“He is probably our best young prospect for some time. His temperament is very good, he doesn’t lose his cool at all and his cue action is very good.
“I believe if he continues to improve at his current rate he could be extremely good.”
The day’s highest break was scored by Parsons, last season’s runner-up, who went ‘in-off’ on 91 with four reds left in his first match.
The last-16 play down to two finalists at the Northern Snooker Centre, Leeds, on Sunday, March 1.
