It certainly wasn’t pretty, but Stephen Hendry won’t be unduly concerned after a comfortable 6-3 win over an out of sorts Mark Williams secured a place in tomorrow’s CityWest Irish Masters final.
On an error strewn afternoon the three-time champion was well worth the win with two century breaks, his first 100s of the tournament, helping him on his way. But the victory owed as much to the poor form of Williams, the current world number one, than Hendry’s prowess when handed opportunities.
Hendry will now face either Ronnie O’Sullivan or Peter Ebdon in tomorrow’s final and will know more consistency is required.
