Blue Square UK Open - Punch Taverns Qualifiers

THE final 32 places in the Blue Square UK Open field have been taken by the Punch Taverns Qualifiers.

The players came through in-house knockouts staged in Punch Taverns pubs around the UK earlier this year before then winning through one of four Regional Finals last weekend.

James Barton, who has previously played twice at the Reebok Stadium, booked his return to Bolton and will dream of emulating his win over Alex Roy in 2004.

Five players - Nicky Turner, Geoff Harkup, Wayne Brown, Danny Pinhorne and Johnny Haines - came through the pub qualifiers to win places at Bolton last year.

Harkup (pictured, right), Ian Wise and Sam Rooney qualified in 2005, with Rooney also playing at Bolton in 2004.
