Bristol's Andrew Norman beat rising junior star Mitchell Mann 5-2 in the final, to take the £800 first prize and 1500 ranking points.

Victory should already guarantee Norman a place in the Grand Finals weekend, where the top 48 players will compete for the £5,000 first prize.

Norman cruised through the early rounds, overcoming James Lawless, Phil Parkin and Ryan Causton without due cause.

He added a 5-1 quarter final win over former professional Avtar Sohanpal, but the semi final proved to be a huge hurdle to cross.

In a match of the very highest quality Norman was pitted against Liverpool's Robbie Williams. Williams ran in a break of 73, Norman responded with 76, 92 and a superb 140 total clearance, and eventually ran out a 5-4 winner.

Williams beat Lee Farebrother, before taking out former Top 8 professional Mike Hallett in the Last 16, after Hallet had beaten local favourite, Gareth Allen five-frames-to-two.

He got a walkover in the quarter finals as his opponent withdrew.

Birmingham's Mitchell Mann had a smooth run through, his hardest test coming from Welsh Junior International Jak Jones in the quarter finals. Mann took that match 5-2 before beating Nick Jennings by the same margin in the semi finals.
