THE Wyvern Open brought together a strong field of professionals all competing for prize money and world ranking points.

The draw saw a first round clash between Taunton players Luke Bishop and Jonathan Taubert.

The match easily surpassed the hour mark and eventually emerged with Bishop winning 14-12, 10-12, 11-9, 14-16, 11-7.

Bishop went on to beat world number 314 Richard King 3-0 in the quarter final before losing to London-based David Wardle in the semi-final.
