Gunnell's just one win away

Shropshire's snooker ace Adrian Gunnell was today attempting to book his passport for a fourth appearance in China.

Gunnell was taking on Nottingham's Anthony Hamilton in the final qualifying round of the Shanghai Masters in Prestatyn.

The 34-year-old from Telford entered the clash in high spirits after fighting back from 4-2 down to beat rising teenage talent Judd Trump 5-4 in the previous qualifying round yesterday.
