The qualifying round saw the match of the day between Horsforth team mates Scott Raper and Baz Frankland.
Frankland took the first frame with a magnificent 94 clearance.
It looked like going 2-0 before a 51 clearance from Raper levelled the match at 1-1. Raper then won a scrappy third frame before a 39 break from Frankland made it 2-2.
In the decider a 45 break from Frankland broke down when he agonisingly failed to get position on the penultimate red. Up stepped Raper to knock in a long red and he proceeded to make a 37 clearance to win yet another match which went to the final black.
In the lower half, 15 years old Lewis Harper showed his undoubted potential as he knocked in breaks of 73,67 and 45 to defeat a shellshocked Danny Dean 3-0, Dean himself making a break of 49 along the way.
So the 2 semis see Liam Pullen take on Lewis Gillen and Scott Raper takes on Lewis Harper. Dates to be confirmed.

Denis will be best remembered for his many billiards titles at local, county and national levels and mainly playing out of Rothwell WMC, but he was a very accomplished snooker player as well.
Our thoughts and best wishes are with his family at this difficult time.
