James Cahill seeking two-year World Snooker tour card
James Cahill is among the players looking to win a two-year tour card at World Snooker’s Q School, which gets underway next week.
The 28-year-old from Marton has entered both qualifying events at Leicester’s Morningside Arena.
Tour cards will be handed out to the semi-finalists in both competitions, the first of which runs from May 21-26.
Cahill’s first match comes on May 22, when he takes on Simon Blackwell in the second round (7pm).
The winner then plays either Wayne Townsend or John Minto at the next stage.
In all, Cahill needs to win five matches in order to regain the tour card he claimed in 2022.
Should he prove unsuccessful next week, the second qualifier runs from May 27-June 1.
Again, Cahill comes in at the second round stage when he meets either Riley Powell or Michal Kotiuk on May 28 (10am).
Among the former professionals looking to win tour cards are Peter Lines, Liam Highfield, Rory McLeod, Barry Pinches and Tony Knowles.
