SAGA Masters Qualifiers
This qualifying tournament took place in early
September.
I was drawn to play Ian Preece in my first match.
I beat Ian 4- 0 and had to play Ben Woollaston in the last 32.
Ben beat me 5 - 4 in a very tough match.
I had hoped for a better run in this tournament
so I could get some good match practice under my belt.
This would have been particularly beneficial at the start of a new season.
I still harbour an ambition to win this tournament
after previously going so close against the late Paul Hunter in 2001.
