Aaron Hill's Crucible dream ended by Matthew Selt

Aaron Hill's bid to reach the World Snooker Championships has been ended by Matthew Selt on a 10-3 scoreline in Sheffield.

The Cork man had battled to put himself in with a shot overnight, as he trailed 4-3 in their third round qualifier. Hill then won this afternoon's opening frame but that would be as good as it got.

World number 35 Selt took control of the match, winning six frames on the spin with three breaks over 60 and he'll now face Joe O'Connor for a place at the Crucible.

Earlier in the qualifiers Fergal O'Brien's career came to an end after his defeat to Mostafa Dorgham in the first round, while Ken Doherty lost out to Marco Fu in his second round qualifier.
