BOURNEMOUTH'S Bradley Cowdroy fired off a break of 74 – his best in the Cuestars South of England Tour – en route to finishing second in Swindon.

The 14-year-old left-hander registered his top score against Greenbaize club-mate Brad Chapell in the group stages.

Cowdroy then saw off Salisbury's Anthony Rice 2-0 in the semi-final but lost to serial winner Mark Lloyd in the under-21 Gold Tour final.

Breaks of 47 and 44 were also recorded by Cowdroy, bettered only by Lloyd and Fareham's James Budd, in an impressive performance.

Chappell finished second in Group B behind Cowdroy and lost out to Lloyd in the semi-finals. Reece King completed an all-Greenbaize top three in qualifying but bowed out at the group stage.
