02-Jun, Quarters &
Semis:
Ford makes another Welsh final
Second seed Ben Ford reached his second final on Welsh soil
with two hard-fought wins at the St Mellons country club in
Cardiff.
Ford, winner of the Le Sport Open in North Wales last month, came
from two down to beat Jaymie Haycocks in the morning's
quarter-finals before beating Ricky Davies in three games that
took almost an hour.
His opponent in the final will be Shaun LeRoux, who also
beat a Welshman in the semi-finals, but the third seed's three
games against Peter Creed took less than half an hour. |

Eddie ousts top seed in Wales
Unseeded English teenager Eddie Charlton pulled off a major
upset in the first round of the Welsh Open when he defeated
top-seeded Welshman Rob Sutherland on the opening day of action at
St Mellons Country Club in Cardiff.
The 18-year-old from Mansfield beat favourite Sutherland in 43
minutes and will now face another local player Peter Creed for a
place in the last four.
Unseeded Creed also claimed an unexpected berth in the
quarter-finals when he outlasted fifth-seeded South African Jason
Barry in 77 minutes.
Jethro Binns set up a surprise all-Welsh quarter-final when he
upset Finland's sixth seed Matias Tuomi. The unseeded Abergavenny-born
22-year-old will take on fellow countryman Ricky Davies after the
fourth seed from Newport beat English qualifier Richard Birks.
