Welsh Snooker U21 Series — Event 4

Group A was topped by Oliver Briffett-Payne, who came through all three matches unbeaten to take first place on a 6-2 frame record. Rio Chung qualified in second on two wins from three, ahead of Tyler Mccaffrey-Smith in third. Logan Rawlings completed the group on a difficult day, failing to win a frame across his three matches.

Riley Powell mirrored Briffett-Payne's record in Group B and went a step further, sweeping all three matches without dropping a single frame to finish on a perfect 6-0. Sion Stuart secured the second qualifying place on two wins from three, with William Gwinnell third and Joel Williams completing the group without registering a frame win.

Both semi-finals ended 2-0. Briffett-Payne saw off Stuart without conceding a frame, and Powell matched the scoreline against Chung to book a final that pitted the two unbeaten group winners against each other.

The final was the match of the day. Briffett-Payne produced the tournament's highest break — an 80 — and struck two further breaks above 60, but Powell refused to let the match slip away, responding with three 40-plus breaks of his own including a 63. The deciding frame went the way of Powell, who completed a 3-2 win to take the Event 4 title.

Briffett-Payne's 80 in the final was the highest break of the event, the pick of a contest that saw nine 40-plus breaks recorded between the two finalists alone. Powell finished with five breaks of 40 or above, Briffett-Payne four.

Despite losing the Event 4 final, Oliver Briffett-Payne retains top spot in the 2025/2026 Welsh Snooker U21 Series ranking on 260 points. Riley Powell's title closes the gap to 20 points, with Zac Cosker third. Rio Chung and Sion Stuart are level on 160 behind them.
