Rising star Morris set to face world champion Robertson

RISING Irish snooker talent Davy Morris has finally qualified for a ranking tournament after three years as a professional.

And what a baptism of fire it has proven to be. The Kilkenny player makes his professional ranking debut today against world champion, Australian Neil Robertson.

The player, who lives in a house numbered 147, was in danger of becoming snooker’s nearly man, having failed to qualify for events at the final hurdle on six occasions.
