quarter-final line-up was resolved at the Woodside Snooker Club,
Norwich, on Sunday 24th November. All games were one hour duration.

Jamie Edwards qualified for the final stages without being required
strike a ball as absentees featured prominently in both of the Norfolk
qualifying groups, a total of five youngsters failing to put in an
appearance. Fifteen year-old Edwards had reached the semi-finals
the Under-19 Championship last year and is the only player from the
five qualifiers who has previous experience of the competition proper.

Possibly the best performance of this contest came from twelve yearold
Ricky Easter who made the highest 60 minute aggregate with 260.

The youngest competitor was nine year-old Jin Yung Foulger from
Great Yarmouth, who lost out to Robert Crisp in his opening match.

Gavin Lewis, Jamie Edwards and Calvin Daws experienced no difficulty
in filling the three available places from this region, all winning their
matches with ease. The improving Edwards has the chance of taking
both titles this year, and his scoring in this competition, with totals
370 and 401 in his two matches, shows that he must stand a chance.
