KEIGHLEY potter Chris Melling is back in action in the last-16 of the Ultimate Pool Pairs Cup on Monday.

The last-16 is split into four groups of four, with the winner of each going into next-month's Finals Night.

Melling and partner Tom Ford are in the first of those four last-16 groups, having made it through the first stage of the competition in July.

Monday night will see the pair compete against Andy Blurton and Neil Raybone, Rikki Jones and Jordan Shepherd, as well as Waddingham and Michael Gibney for a spot in the semis.

The other three groups will follow on consecutive Mondays in October, before the semi-finals and final take place on November 4.
