Basildon star Stuart Bingham beat Welshman Darren Morgan 5-3 at Pontin's Prestatyn last night to earn the right to play Stephen Maguire this evening in the final qualifying round of the Irish Masters.

That clash will come just four days before Bingham and Maguire, winner of the recent Travis Perkins UK Championship, meet in the first round proper of the Welsh Open in Newport on Monday night.
