JOE CULLEN enjoyed a run to the final of Players Championship 20 on Wednesday in Barnsley, showing good form ahead of his return to the World Matchplay.
The Yorkshire ace enjoyed impressive victories against Grand Slam winner Gerwyn Price and former World Champions Rob Cross and Adrian Lewis before losing out in the final to Peter Wright.
“Peter was irresistible in the final but it is a good run for me going into Blackpool,” said Cullen, who will meet Ian White in the first round on Sunday in Blackpool.
