Ken Doherty claimed his second title of the season by overcoming Michael Judge 9-4 in the Irish Professional Snooker championships at the Spawell on Wednesday night.

The former World Champion lost out at the same stage last year but recorded the highest break of the competition in the eighth frame of the encounter to ensure victory this time round.

Judge matched his opponent in the early frames, notching up breaks of 53 and 64, but Doherty took a 6-2 lead into the interval thanks to some impressive play in the final four frames of the first session.

But despite the 31 year old snatching the first two frames of the evening action, it was Doherty who went on to claim victory and a winner's cheque of EUR7,000.

"I cherish this tournament," Doherty said afterwards.

"I was on the other end of the stick last year and was getting a bit worried when Mick won the first two frames (of the evening session). He was flying and I didn't do a lot wrong, but I was just delighted to win."

The tournament winner also picked up a cheque of Eur1,000 for his highest break of 140.
