RESULTS from the first day of the Budweiser UK Open Midlands Regional Final.
Steve Beaton enjoyed a welcome return to form to join Wayne Mardle in qualifying from The Wharncliffe in Sheffield.
That duo will be joined in the last eight at the same venue on Sunday by World Number One Colin Lloyd, Ronnie Baxter, Andy Jenkins and Raymond van Barneveld, Richie Burnett and Dennis Priestley, who also qualified.
Baxter overcame Henry O'Neill 5-4 in their deciding clash, with van Barneveld reaching the latter stages for the second successive Regional Final with a victory over Lionel Sams.
Priestley avenged his defeat to Mark Dudbridge in the final of the South-West Regional Final in February with a 5-3 victory at the Brincliffe Oaks to move into the last eight alongside Welshman Burnett, who overcame Dave Askew.
