The final spot will be decided in the last and final event and the three players who are in contention for the fourth spot are Ethan Smith, Jerome Chipol and Kaylan Franco. It will be a very nervy day for these boys, as only one will qualify.

A total of 16  youngsters came down to participate in the Fourth Youth Ranking of the season which took place on Saturday 17th January 2018.

With 6 ranking events in total and only two more to play after this one things are very tight at the top of the table.  However, Craig Galliano and Justin Hewitt have both achieved enough points to guarantee themselves a top 4 finish regardless of how many points they get in the next two ranking events which means they have both qualified for the European Cup squad, congratulations to them both.

The other two spots are still up for grabs. Sean’s victory in this event does not mathematically get him into the top 4  but it he has certainly got himself into a great position to qualify.
