Jackson Page has booked his spot at the UK Championship seven years after making his debut as a 16-year-old against Ronnie O'Sullivan.
Jackson Page was thrown in at the deep end in York Jackson Page has booked his spot at the Barbican for the UK Championship seven years after making his debut as a 16-year-old against Ronnie O’Sullivan. It was a crazy occasion for a schoolboy to experience, playing in front of a full house in York against the sport’s greatest icon. The Welshman was beaten 6-3 but made an impression on the Rocket, who liked what he saw from his opponent.
O’Sullivan beat Page 10-1 at this year’s World Championship ‘It was great. I was only a young kid then, I lost 6-3 to Ronnie but even after the match there was a big crowd there for me to sign autographs. ‘As a 16-year-old kid it was a bit like, wow! But it was great there, I’m looking forward to it again.’ Page was playing as an amateur back in 2017 and has been professional since 2019, but does not feel like he has kicked on as he would liked.
