Promising juniors Jack Borwick and Amaan Iqbal have both been awarded places in the BetVictor Scottish Open to take place at the Meadowbank Centre in Edinburgh in December.
The two amateurs will take their place in the line up alongside snooker’s greatest names at the world ranking event which will run from December 11 to 17. The draw for the event will be announced soon.
Borwick, age 16 from Cairneyhill, was the highest ranked player aged under-21 in last season’s Scottish National Main Tour and is also the current Scottish Under-18 National Champion.
Iqbal, age 17 from Glasgow, is the current Scottish Under-21 National Champion. Both players were nominated for wild cards by Scottish Snooker.
Televised by Eurosport, discovery+ and a range of other broadcasters worldwide, the tournament in Edinburgh will feature over 80 players battling for the Stephen Hendry Trophy. Gary Wilson won the title last year, coming through a strong field which also included the likes of Scottish favourite John Higgins, Ronnie O’Sullivan, Luca Brecel and Judd Trump.
Tickets for this year’s event are on sale now from just £15, for details click here.
