Ireland's Ken Doherty will take-on world number one Mark Williams in the O2 World Snooker Re-match Series which will encompass a series of five challenge games at venues around the country.
The series is a re-match of the epic Embassy World Final battle between Williams and Doherty which took place at The Crucible last year.
This series will give Irish snooker fans the opportunity to see two of the world’s best players in action and Ken Doherty believes those who attend will be in for a real treat.
“I think myself and Mark have produced some great games in the past and are always competitive when we play each other. After last year's final, I thought it would be great to bring the world champion to Ireland and let Irish snooker fans around the country have access to top class snooker," Doherty said
The nationwide series of five matches will take place at venues in Tralee, Limerick, Ballina, Mullingar and Dublin.
The five host venues of the series are:
Monday, February 16 at The Brandon Hotel, Tralee
Tuesday, February 17 at The Royal George Hotel, Limerick
Wednesday, February 18 at The Ballina Sport & Leisure Centre, Thursday, February 19 at The Mullingar Park Hotel, Mullingar Friday, February 20 at UCD, Dublin
