The tournament's reigning champion Eric Bristow suffered a shock first round exit to Northern Ireland's Steve Brennan, who then defeated Dave Whitcombe to reach the quarterfinals, losing to Stefan Lord. Another former champion also lost in the first round, Scotland’s Angus Ross defeated Wales’ Leighton Rees.
