Daanyal played with past Amateur Champion Warren Bladon and Simon Lilley yesterday. He started with a birdie on the first and holed his second shot from 85 yards on the second and then had another eagle and two more birdies in his round. Dannyal took his place at Littlestone when he sank a 20ft birdie putt at the second of the play-off holes.

For Chris Dougill, two birdies at the 18th (one to get him into the play-off) were the highlights of his round and he will play at the same course as Daanyal. He blasted drivers ib each occasion to set up wedges in for those invaluable birdies.

Past and present Warwickshire Amateurs who just missed out included Rory Kirwan (lost in PO), Sam Dodds and Robert Bardsley (71), Warren Blaydon (73), Tom Ibbertson (74), Chris Freeman (75), Jack Sant (77) and Dale Middleton an 81

Pro Andy Jones tied best score of the day with a 67

Over at Enville Jak Hamblett qualified with a 73 (after a Play-Off) but there was disappointment Jamie Carney (79) and Fred Jewsbury (80)
