Twenty can celebrate, 44 places still available
A total of 20 players already got the ticket for next phase of the U21 European Snooker Championships that are taking place at St. Paul’s Bay, Malta, before the end of the second day of competition.
In the 16 groups, the first four go through. And the 16 winners will be seeded in next round, where can only fit 64 of the 90 players who started the event. Which means that there are only 44 chairs left for Monday and the end of round-robin stage.

From Group P come also two for the last 64 already: Callum Lloyd, from Wales, and scottish candidate Dylan Craig. Another welsh, Tom Rees, rules and he’s already qualified in Group Q
