David Morris

Having continued to gain impressive results in his third year on the pro circuit in 2008/09, Morris will be hoping to go one better and reach the venue stage of a tournament for the first time next season.
Last term saw him go out at the last 48 stage of two overseas events, the Roewe Shanghai Masters and the Bahrain Snooker Championship. On both occasions he lost to established top 32 players - Barry Hawkins and Michael Holt - but Morris will expect to kick on next season.
His first two seasons had gone well and he acheived his target of breaking into the top 64 of the world rankings.
He reached the last 48 of the Maplin UK Championship but was denied a place at the venue by Dave Harold in 2007/08.
Morris is considered one of the Republic of Ireland’s brightest prospects since his friend and practice partner Ken Doherty burst on to the scene.
In an exceptional junior career, his honours included being RIBSA champion at six different age levels from under-14 to under-21 and becoming the only player to win the All Ireland Senior Championship three consecutive times (2004-06). His first triumph in that event made him the youngest Irish champion in history.
In finishing top of the Irish rankings in 2006 he qualified for a place on the pro Tour for the first time.
Morris, who believes his key strengths are potting and break-building, grew up in a house in Kilkenny numbered 147.
