NINE youngsters who had attended spring coaching sessions at the Menstone Club in Menston had a day to remember at the Betfred World Championships in Sheffield, thanks to the Paul Hunter Foundation.

They met professionals Matthew Stevens, shock quarter-finalist Anthony McGill and six-times world champion Steve Davis, collected autographs and watched a trick-shot display by Davis.

Hunter, who used to practice in Yeadon, died of cancer aged 27 in 2006, and the foundation was established that year in his memory, with the aim of giving disadvantaged, able-bodied and disabled youngsters an opportunity to play snooker.
