Bedford ace pots his way to the final
England U19 snooker star Darrell Whitworth ended the year on a high after he left with the runners-up trophy at the Belgian U21 Open International last weekend.
The 19-year-old from Bedford was one of six players selected from England to compete in the tournament held in Genk.
After qualifying from a very tight round robin stage, where he beat Malta's U21 champion Thurston Grixti 3-0 and the Belgian European U21 representative Nicky Godeyne 3-0, he proceeded to the knock-out stages.
The quarter-final was played against fellow England International Darren Bond, who he beat 4-2, before moving on to a last four clash with England compatriot Ben Harrison, eventually winning 4-2.
In what was his first appearance in a major final, Whitworth narrowly lost out 5-4 to Belgian Luca Brecel.
