Hide AdIt wasn’t all one-way traffic, with Greenwood having a great chance to go in front in frame one, but a great clearance from the very steady Lingard was enough to go in front.
Frame two was a similar affair, but Lingard took his chance to move 2-0 up, and with confidence very high, won the third frame in double quick time.
He now awaits the winner of last night’s semi-final between Wayne Cotterill and Peter Mercer.
The large table semi-finals concluded, with victories for Farakh Ajaib and Martin Eyles, who will now meet up in the final on Sunday, July 2nd at 1 p.m. at Ighten Leigh.

Hide AdAjaib booked his place after a 3-0 whitewash over friend Jack Dady, taking just over an hour and smashing a 72 break in to book.
Eyles had a much tougher passage after a final frame deciding black ball against the impressive Josh Foster.
Foster had Eyles in all sorts of trouble with a brilliant safety, putting the cue ball behind the brown, with the last four reds in open play.
Eyles missed, but referee John Timperley refused to call a miss, to Fosters amazement.
Eyles took the frame to the black ball, and after a couple of safety shots Foster went in off to hand the match to Eyles.
