HENRY DOMINATES HISTORIC SESSION

Michaela Tabb stole the show on Saturday night as Drew Henry and Mark King started out on their first round tie.

The 35-year-old from Dunfermline is the first woman to officiate at the Crucible Theatre.

And it was an incident-free opening session for the mum of one, married to Scottish pool star Ross McInnes, to control.

Indeed, her historic debut was the highlight of a disappointing session.

Henry, the world number 22 from Rutherglen, at least had the satisfaction of gaining a 6-3 lead over a player he defeated at the corresponding stage three years ago.

Henry's best break was 89 while King's highest was just 41.

The winner plays Stephen Hendry or Gary Wilkinson for a place in the quarter-finals and Henry is only four frames away from round two.

Tabb will again be in charge when the game concludes on Sunday afternoon.
