Ken Doherty eyes first Crucible return since 2014 after beating Fraser Patrick

Betway UK Championships – Day Six – York Barbican

Former world champion Ken Doherty is targeting his first Crucible appearance since 2014 after winning the match that kept his professional snooker career alive.

The 50-year-old, who won the world title in 1997, beat Fraser Patrick in his second qualifying round match on Friday night, where defeat would have seen him relegated from the full-time circuit.
