                     Robson knocks out English championship top seed  
“It’s
 been a good day,” said Robson (Weymouth) who earlier defeated Leon 
Fricker (Yelverton) 3 and 2. He’s in the quarter finals for the second year 
in a row and said: “Anything now is a bonus, I just want to enjoy it, 
that’s what I do it for.”

match against Enefer, never dropping behind and eventually winning 
2 and 1. Tomorrow he plays Jack Gaunt (Drayton Park) who was taken to the 
21st before clinching his match against Jay Beisser (The Rayleigh). 
Yorkshire
 hopes of a third home winner in a row – after Nick Marsh and Joe Dean –
 now rest with Dan Brown (Masham). He’s the county’s sole survivor after
 Steve Robins (Hull) was beaten on the last this afternoon by Jack Singh
 Brar (Remedy Oak).  
Brown
 had a topsy-turvy day. First he sped through his morning match against 
Ben Amor (Marlborough) with the help of a hole-in-one on the 158-yard 
5th, where he used an eight iron. It was his third hole in one, but his 
first since he was 11, 10 years ago. This 
afternoon he faced Daniel Sutton (Walsall) and had to withstand a 
determined fightback before making his way into the quarter-finals. Brown was four up after 10 but after 17 holes the pair were level and Brown had to produce a closing birdie to win through. “It was a good birdie under a lot of pressure,” he said. “I’m relieved more than anything.” 
Tomorrow
 Brown will play Tom Gandy (Rowany), who knocked out Lytham Trophy 
winner Alfie Plant (Sundridge Park) this afternoon by 2/1.  
Jamie
 Mist (Hayling) beat international Paul Kinnear (Formby) 3/1 and will 
face boy international Charlie Strickland (Ham Manor). Strickland 
defeated another international, Josh Hilleard (Farrington Park), this 
afternoon. 
The
 last quarter final will be between George Bloor (Cavendish) and Jack 
Singh Brar (Remedy Oak). Bloor beat Laird Shepherd (Rye) on the 19th 
this afternoon while Singh Brar defeated Steve Robins (Hull) by one 
hole.
