Daryl Selby and Joey Barrington doubled the English interest in the Dunlop Hungarian Open after fighting through the qualifying finals in the country's capital Budapest.

Barrington, the 25-year-old son of British legend Jonah Barrington, dampened domestic interest in the five-star event by dismissing Hungary's Mark Krajcsak 11-5 11-3 11-5 in just 35 minutes.

Selby, fresh from his appearance in last week's final of the Ciutat de Barcelona Open, survived a five-game battle with fellow Englishman Scott Handley, winning 2-11 11-5 11-10 5-11 11-4 in 54 minutes.

Barrington will meet compatriot and top seed Peter Nicol in the first round of the $50,000 PSA Tour event. Nicol, with two title wins to his credit since July, is expected to go through to Sunday's final where a meeting with second seed Amr Shabana is predicted.

The former world champion from Egypt is also enjoying a good run of form, with two PSA Tour titles to his name this month. Like Nicol, he also faces a qualifier, Frenchman Renan Lavigne, in the opening round.

Renan Lavigne (FRA) bt Luca Mastrostefano (ITA) 7-11, 11-5, 10-11 (0-2), 11-4, 11-4 (58m)
