Liam Highfield scored a 4-2 victory over Alex Pagulayan in the final round of Q School event two to earn a two-year card to the World Snooker Tour.
Canada's Pagulayan, one of the world's leading nine-ball pool stars, had surprised many with a run of wins having swapped blue baize for green, but the player nicknamed The Lion wasn't able to kill off his final opponent.
However, having won several matches in both Q School events, the 37-year-old, who was born in the Philippines, will have the chance to enter to certain ranking events during the 2014/15 season as a 'top-up' amateur.
Stoke's 23-year-old Highfield, who has been on the tour since 2010 but dropped off at the end of last season, won 4-2 today with top breaks of 58, 60, 61 and 78.
"The last six to eight months have been very tough for me," said Highfield. "I've had some problems away from snooker and was feeling down with life. So it's great to have a positive now. Three months ago I swapped clubs, to the Reardon in Stoke and that has turned my life around. I want to say thanks to my mentor Dave Deakes who has helped me so much.
"When I first got on to the tour four years ago, I took it for granted and just assumed that I would be there for life. Since then it has been a downward spiral. But now I feel confident again and I am a much better player now. This a chance to draw a line under the last four years and start again."
Highfield also had some kind words for Pagulayan, adding: "I've got quite friendly with him over the last ten days. He has a very good mentality and he has put his heart into trying to qualify. I think he'll play in events as a top-up player and he will keep improving.
"He plays some clever shots which snooker players might not see, and equally he doesn't see certain shots because of his pool background. If he can learn more about snooker he will give anyone a game."
Well played Liam but it's good to read that alex still has a route into The Snooker Tour !
Before Alex jets back home I hope he had a go @ The Scoop6 Horse Racing over here on Saturday at the local bookies , potential £15M jackpot ! :grin::thumbup:

:thumbup:My first exposure to snooker was in a castle in Adare, Ireland some 29 yrs ago (almost to the day). I liked pool at that point but wasn't really playing yet. But when I saw this massive table with rounded jaws and balls with no numbers on them, etc., I was intrigued.
With little exposure to it in the states, I took up pool later on and never played much snooker (except the one or two random pool halls that actually had a table I could mess around on after getting knocked out of a tournament). It's only within the last year or so I started watching some matches on YouTube and realized how great the game is. I actually give it the edge over 9 ball.
Watching the 2013 and 2014 world championships was great. And I have to say, I hope Alex picks the game up a bit more and makes another run at Q School next year. He had two great runs this year but just came up short. It would be great to see him playing it more and perhaps helping to bring more exposure to the game here in the states.
