LYCETT AND HEATHCOTE SAFELY
INTO ROUND TWO OF COORS OPEN
NEWPORT (Shropshire): Newport Pool League’s top player Andy Lycett and Greg Heathcote were the first two names into the hat for the second round of the 2008 Coors Newport Pool Open, after they beat an out-of-sorts Ben Clews and Roy Dicken in their best-of-five first round matches.
Lycett dismissed Clews 3-0 in less than 30 minutes at the Shakespeare, but Heathcote was forced to come from a frame down to squeeze his way past tournament virgin Dicken after a sticky encounter.
“Roy played a good snooker on his last red and won the first one, but I made no mistake in frame two and he gave me chances in both the last frames to finish off the game,” said Heathcote, still suffering the effects of whiplash after a quad-biking accident in Dorset.
All first round ties are to be played by Monday, July 28th. Results should be sent by text message to 07831 123153, clearly stating the names of players and the score.
