Rodney’s dream draw

IRELAND INTERNATIONAL snooker player Rodney Goggins from Liam Mellows Park in Wexford town recorded a famous win recently, and he now receives a place at the Irish Masters in Goffs against one of the legends of the game, our very own Ken Doherty, on January 5, 2019.

The Wexford man had won the Republic of Ireland Billiards & Snooker Association Top 16 R.I.B.S.A. play-off on December 1 in Roadstone S.C. in Dublin.

In the final Rodney beat former professional player Joe Delaney from The Classic S.C. in Dublin. Rodney also recorded the highest break with a stunning 133 clearance.

The draw for the Irish Masters was made last week, and Rodney will play Ken Doherty on January 5 at 1 p.m. in Goffs in County Kildare. The other players in this event include Dennis Taylor, Jimmy White, Willie Thorne and Joe Johnson.

It promises to be a fantastic event, so get to Goffs to cheer on Rodney. Tickets may be purchased from www.tickmaster.ie
