Snooker star Judd Trump has missed out on a place at the Welsh Open after his unbeaten record in qualifiers came to an end.

The 19-year-old, who practices at Keynsham Snooker Centre, lost 5-3 to Barry Pinches in the fourth qualifying round at Prestatyn.

Defeat ended a remarkable run for Trump, who had qualified for every other tournament this season.

Trump took the first frame with a break of 89, then lost three of the next four frames but drew level at 3-3 with an 87.

However, the experienced Pinches regained the lead with a 136 and edged a scrappy eighth frame to seal victory.

Pinches will now play Jamie Cope for a place at Newport.
