Austria continues to maintain a strong presence on the World Snooker Tour (WST). Following National Champion Florian Nüßle’s sensational run to the quarterfinals at last week’s Shoot Out in Leicester, Class-1 Referee Erich Pließnig has now been honored with the opportunity to officiate a live match in the Last 32 stage of the WST Scottish Open 2024.

On the second day of the ranking event in Edinburgh, the Carinthian referee took charge of the second-round match between Ding Junhui and Jackson Page from Wales. The former Vice World Champion from China secured a 4-2 victory.

Here is a summary of the match.
