IRISH snooker legend Ken Doherty can’t wait to test himself against the locals when he presents an evening of pool in The Mariner Bantry (above the Brick Oven) on Wednesday, August 2nd.
The 1997 world champion will be in West Cork next week, and his prestigious trophy will also be on display; he famously defeated the defending champion Stephen Hendry 18–12 in the final.
Another snooker great and former world champion Dennis Taylor will also be making the trip to Bantry with Doherty.
‘I am really looking forward to coming to the Mariner in Bantry with Dennis Taylor; we will have a bit of craic, good stories and hopefully some good pool as well. So get practicing,’ Doherty said.
