Morris makes six century breaks on way to retaining title

KILKENNY’S David Morris scored a comprehensive 8-2 victory over Nenagh’s Brendan O’Donoghue yesterday to retain his Irish Senior title in the Ivy Rooms Snooker Club in Carlow.

Morris, who racked up six century breaks en route to the final, raced into a 6-0 lead with the help of breaks of 96 and 117 in an awesome display of snooker in the first session.

2003 champion O’Donoghue staged a minor comeback with the next two frames, but Morris stepped up another gear compiling a superb 134 in the next frame and won the next comfortably to win his second title.
