Wraight, himself the reigning Champion of Champions at the famous Blackpool venue, beat Hanwood's Warwick & Worcester recruit Greg Smith 21-15 in the last 64 on Saturday.

"The Waterloo winner playing the Champion of Champions winner would have been ideal TV viewing tomorrow, but we both couldn't get there," said delighted Castlefields king Wraight after his fine win.

His reward was a last 32 clash today against British No.1 Gary Ellis, who beat Morecambe's Mark Martindale 21-20.
