Pickering snooker pro' Paul Davison slumped to a 5-0 defeat by Neal Foulds, the former world number three and 1986 UK Championship runner-up, in the first qualifying round of the Thailand Masters at Burton-on-Trent yesterday.

"It was a bad day at the office," Davison said today. "He played well. He made a century break in the first frame, a 50 in the second, two 40s in the third and then there were two scrappy frames which he won on the colours."

Davison's next snooker tour event is the Regal Welsh tournament qualifying stages at Burton next month.
