THERE were early exits for all four of the region’s challengers who travelled to Prestatyn last weekend for the third in the series of Pontins pro-am events.
Gary Wilson had to go all the way before getting the better of James Leadbetter 4-3, but then went out by the same scoreline in the last 64 at the hands of Stephen Welby.
Stephen Craigie turned in a classy performance in the first round to beat Mitchell Mann 4-1, only to crash out in his next match 4-2 to the in-form Martin Gould.
After receiving a first-round bye, Mark Livingstone’s 4-1 defeat by Ashley Wright was a lot closer than the scoreline suggests.
A young player on his way up is Walkergate 16-year-old Paul McHugh.
