FORMER OPEN CHAMPIONS PINK AND
TREVOR SET FOR TITANIC CLASH
NEWPORT (Shropshire): If drawing each other in the 2008 Worthington’s Doubles was not bad enough, 2006 Newport Open champion Paul Trevor has been drawn against defending champion Colin Pink in the second round of the 2008 Coors Newport Open singles’ competition.
The second round draw of 32 in the singles and 16 pairs in the doubles has thrown up several other titanic clashes, with snooker supremo John Williams facing a gruelling home tie against the in-form Andy Dean. The league’s unbeaten Andy Lycett faces the prospect of a visit to Muxton to play young Dave Worrall.
Greg ‘hit man’ Heathcote faces a repeat of his 2007 fixture against the King’s Head’s Irene Whittington, while Ben Longstaff faces a tricky home tie against Matt Hestor. The talented Keith Rogers faces a home match against either Tavern landlord Dave Wilkinson or LSC’s Neil Perkins, while the King’s Head’s Mick Collins has a tricky away draw against Anthony Cox at the Navigation in Gnosall.
The pick of the doubles matches is the prospect of the winner of the Trevor/Williams and Pink/Pink clash meeting the Tavern’s Dave Wilkinson and Ray Talbot.
Defending doubles’ champions, Anthony Heathcote and Andy Lycett, face a banana skin visit to LSC to play Nick Clewley and Perkins and last year’s runners-up, Ian and Bob Perry, face last year’s third-placed finishers Ian Fearnley and Neil Cartwright at the Tavern. Another close match to call will be the meeting between Ed Keenan and Mick Collins and Matt Hestor and Ben Clews at the King’s Head.
