David Morris

Wow, this could be quite a story as Kilkenny snooker player David Morris is one qualifying match away from reaching the World Championship proper. Best of luck to him and would be great if he could reach the televised stages.

Hopefully he can win this match. He's in with some huge names in that last group. Stephen Hendry, Ken Doherty and Peter Ebdon. It's be great if he managed to do it.

Great to see him doing so well. I remember playing him in the first round of a RIBSA event 5 or 6 years ago out in Spawell and he knocked in a 90-odd break. I like to think that was the turning point in his career!

Back on at 7pm.

Unlucky, loses 10-4. Experience should stand to him and hopefully we hear more from him in the future.

Jimmy Iovine

Great for him to get so close to qualifying. When you see Stephen Hendry having to qualify you realise how well he did. Hopefully we'll get to see him playing there some day.
