A nine-year-old from Havant has passed the landmark 30-break milestone.

Owen Jenkins compiled a personal best 37 against defending champion Dean Russell in the Wednesday Junior League at Waterlooville Sports Bar.

Competition organiser Tim Dunkley said: ‘This was a remarkable achievement. It’s not a record but it is extremely rare.

Jenkins also competes on the Cuestars South of England Under-21 Bronze Tour.

Meanwhile, former champion Samuel Laxton lost his first match to Russell but still won the first of the four round-robin groups and extended his lead at the top to five points.

Lennox Anderson heads division one, while Tyler Mack is top of division two.
