FERNANDEZ WINS RIBSA '' IRISH OPEN ''
Mario Fernandez won the second Senior Ranking Event on the new RIBSA Senior Snooker Tour in the Ivy Rooms Snooker Club in Carlow over the weekend.

In the other semi Vincent Muldoon beat current No. 1 Rodney Goggins from 147 Snooker Club Wexford 4 frames to 3 in another great match, with Rodney making the highest break in the event with a 137 break in frame six of the match.
The High Break prize went to Rodney with a fantastic 137 break but there were other high breaks in the event - 135 Vincent Muldoon, 114 Mario Fernandez, 98 Joe Corrigan, 94 TJ Dowling, 90 Greg Casey and one of the best breaks in the event went to 13 year old Aaron Tobin with an 80 break.
