Antrim’s Jordan Brown ensured that he’ll be among the line-up for next week’s BetVictor Northern Ireland Open in Belfast as he saw off Stuart Carrington 4-2 in the qualifying round.
Brown goes through to face either Neil Robertson or Wu Yize in the last 64 of the world ranking event at the Waterfront Hall, which runs from October 22 to 29. The former BetVictor Welsh Open champion made a top break of 69 in a hard-fought win over Carrington.
Irishman Ken Doherty earned his spot with a fine 4-3 victory over Liam Highfield. From 3-2 down, former World Champion Doherty, age 54, fired breaks of 135 and 65 to win the last two frames.
Jamie Clarke won the deciding frame on the final black to beat Alfie Davis 4-3, while Dean Young top scored with 83 in a 4-2 win over Mohamed Ibrahim.
