Daniel Walter wins second successive Plate

DANIEL Walter started the new campaign as he ended the last – by winning the Plate competition.

Walter picked up one victory out of three on his Cuestars Under-21 Silver Tour debut at Salisbury Snooker Club.

The Portsmouth-based teenager (pictured, left) didn’t qualify for the knockout but went on to beat Londoner Lee Clayden (right) in the Plate final.

Last season, Walter finished joint runner-up on the Bronze Tour and won the Plate in the final leg at Waterlooville Sports Bar.

Frames Sports Bar, Coulsdon, hosts the second legs of ten on Sunday, October 2.
