Early Career

Eckington’s Adam Duffy first rose to prominence in 2008 as he became the second player to be awarded the Paul Hunter Scholarship, succeeding Welshman Daniel Wells for the 2008/9 season.

2010/11

Having struggled to make a breakthrough during the 2009/10 PIOS campaign, finishing 41st in the rankings, Adam did enjoy more success during the new PTC series the following season with wins against the likes of Judd Trump, Alan McManus and Luca Brecel.

He then entered the new Q School event in the hope of securing a place on the main tour for 2011/12 but did not begin well with a round one defeat to Robbie Williams in the first event.

Event Two was to be improved however as he progressed through to the fourth round before losing out to Ireland’s David Morris before he went all the way in the final event with victories against Lyndon Gordon, Stephen Rowlings, Lee Walker, Alex Davies and David Gray to secure a place on the main tour for the first time.

2011/12

Adam made a respectable start to his first season as a professional, his best run during the PTC events coming in Gloucester at PTC2 where he defeated Mark Joyce, Gary Wilson and then Mark Selby to reach the last 16 where he lost out to Yu Delu in a deciding frame.
