SCOTTISH professional champion John Rea and his brother, Julio, both

reached the second round of the #3500 Belhaven Pro-Am tournament at the

Masters club in Dennistoun, Glasgow.

John, from the Crucible, chalked up a 4-0 victory against clubmate,

Martin Deeney of Clydebank, while Julio looked impressive when defeating

Hamilton's Gavin Burns 4-2.

The biggest surprise of the tournament was the first-round exit of

former Scottish professional title-holder Murdo Macleod (Livingston),

when 16-year-old Garthamlock schoolboy Billy Faulds confidently potted

the pink in the deciding frame to snatch a 4-3 victory.

Other professionals to bow out were Jimmy Donnelly, beaten 4-2 by

Martin Bradley (Glasgow), and seasoned campaigner Matt Gibson, who

suffered a similar fate against Mark Reynolds of Hamilton.

Scottish amateur champion Marcus Campbell (100-break), a beaten

quarter-finalist last month in the world amateur event in Singapore,

emerged from the 175-entry with a superb 4-2 win over Graham Brown

(Balloch).
