MARTYN DESPERQUES will go up against 2005 world champion Shaun Murphy later this month.
The Sarnian’s reward for winning the Individual Snooker League was an invitiation to compete in the World Series of Snooker 2008, being launched in Jersey.
Desperques will battle against current world number three Murphy in a best of seven match. The 2005 champion will have his eye on the 150,000 euro series prize pot so the Guernseyman is assured of a tough match.
The best local player in each event will also play in the series grand final in Germany in November so there is plenty to play for, for all the Channel Island players.
