Ken Doherty made a winning start to his bid to win the first ever 888sport.com Six Reds World Championship in Killarney today.

Doherty defeated fellow Irishman 4-1 John McBride in the first of his five group matches at the INEC arena.

“I’m pleased with how I played but I’m more pleased that after six months of hard work the tournament is underway,” said Doherty, who is also one of the event organisers.

“It’s a great set up and all the players seem to be enjoying it. The snooker is fast and fluent, which makes it attractive to watch.

“You will get cagey frames but I won one in about six minutes and all John had done was break off.

“I think this will come over well on TV and I hope people come along to watch during the week because they’re in for a great spectacle.”


Fellow Irishman

I thought you were a cockney John

He's a fraud. I'll bet he's not even the same guy.
