Irish contingent in confident mood

The Irish contingent will be hoping to follow in the footsteps of Ken Doherty who won the competition in 1989.
Despite the recent terrorist attacks in the region, national coach PJ Nolan thinks that the squad will still travel to Egypt and take part in the tournament. “Unless something else happens then I can’t see us not going,” he said. “There’s a lot going on over there but at the moment, we’re going,” said Nolan.
