There were more success for the Republic Of Ireland Snooker Team here in Latvia on Day five with 4 wins from their 5 matches at the 2013 IBSF World Snooker Championship here in Daugavpils.
First off today was Shane Gorman when he had a superb win over highly rated Alain Vandersteen from Belgium 3 frames to 1 for what goes down to his best ever International win.
Next it was Mark Tuite when he played his best snooker so far in a fantastic 3 frames to 1 win over Jörg Schneidewindtfrom Germany for his fourth win from 4 matches.
Stephen Merrigan was beaten by Belgium 3 frames to nil but he goes into his last match knowing a win will get him through to the knock out rounds.
Michael Judge had a comfortable 4 frames to nil victory over Tomas Puodziunas from Lithuania and Brendan O Donoghue played great snooker again tonight in one of the best matches of the day in beating Indian Shahbaaz Adil Khan 4 frames to 2 to stay unbeaten in his group with 5 wins from 5 matches.
David Hogan had the day off and the Knock out rounds start on Thursday and as National Coach and Team Manager I have to congratulate these six Irish players so far on their performance as the standard is so high at this year’s championship. We have another full day of action is ahead and you can follow all the action on www.ibsfnews.com with live scoring and results.
