Chris Melling from Keighley and Jason Walton from Bingley have won the right to play a former world champion in a one-frame exhibition at the Telegraph & Argus Snooker Classic at the Richard Dunn Sports Centre on Saturday, February 23.

Melling will face John Parrott, while Walton will meet Mark Williams. Both qualified for the big night by reaching the final of the T&A Play A Legend Tourna-ment at Cue Gardens, Odsal.

The in-form Melling celebrated his 29th birthday in style by winning the final 3-0 and said: "When I first started playing, John, along with Steve Davis and Jimmy White was one of my heroes. Also, John likes a laugh.

"I made about ten 60-plus breaks during the qualifier which is good enough to win a frame against anybody."
