Dean Young vs. Stuart Carrington: Would Dean Young Give A Good Fight?

Dean Young is all set to fight the famous Stuart Carrington in the first quarter of Gibraltar Open 2022 on 24th March. This fight between a rookie and the old champion would be one to look forward to.

Dean Young is a 20-year-old professional snooker player from Scotland. He won the U-21 Scotland National Snooker Championship in 2018 and 2019, both times defeating Aaron Graham. Young won Q-School - Event 3 in June 2021, defeating Florian Nüßle and Mitchell Mann before defeating Haydon Pinhey 4–1 in the final round to gain a two-year World Snooker Tour card 2021–2022 and 2022–2023 seasons. He was the sole rookie from Q-School that year.

Stuart Carrington is a professional snooker player from England. In Grimsby, he regularly works alongside Steven Hallworth and Ian Glover. Carrington qualified for the 2011–12 professional Main Tour as one of four semi-finalists in the third and final Q School tournament in May 2011.

Carrington defeated Sam Craigie 4–2, Wang Yuchen 4–2, Robin Hull 4–0, and Igor Figueiredo 4–1 to reach his first ranking tournament quarter-final, where he fell 4–0 against Stuart Bingham. Carrington fought to take a one-frame lead but dropped a lengthy eighth frame to fall 5–3. The second session was not as good as the first, with Liang winning 10–7.

With only a few years of experience under his belt, we do not have much hope from Dean Young for this match against the great Stuart Carrington, who has been in good from since his debut. While both have their own triumphs and experiences, Stuart Carrington surely has the upper hand over Dean in this match.
