Rodney Goggins learned his main tour fate yesterday and the Wexfordman will now have a second year on the tour staying on by virtue of the one year list. Rodney needed only one of three players to lose in the Welsh Open to be sure of safety and Drew Henry yesterday failed to beat Ian McCullough thus sealing his fate. Rodney will now join Davey Morris and the more established Irish pro's on the circuit next year yet again after Davey  secured his place comfortably.  

The Kilkenny youngster is currently ranked 64th in the rankings which will put him in the second round of all events next season. However Jimmy White still has a chance to pass Morris should he beat Mark King in the final World Championship Qualifier on March 10th. A win for White would cost Morris his Top 64 seeding as well as guaranteed prize money of around STG£8,000.
