Home favourite Mark Allen progressed to the quarter-final stage of the Northern Ireland Open with a 4-1 win over Aaron Hill in Thursday’s third round in Belfast.

Allen punished a mistake from Republic of Ireland’s Hill in the first frame at the Waterfront Hall before knocking in a break of 137.

Hill, a three-time ranking event quarter-finalist, responded with breaks of 24 and 65 to level in the second frame, before Allen won the next three frames to ease into the last eight.

The world number eight could come up against fellow Antrim man Jordan Brown in the next round as he takes on Shaun Murphy in a last 16 encounter later on Thursday.

Elsewhere, Judd Trump and Tom Ford booked their spots in the last eight with victories over Gary Wilson and Yuan Sijun.

World number one Trump, who is seeking his fifth Northern Ireland Open title, secured a 4-1 win over Wilson while Ford beat Yuan 4-2.
