'If I turn up playing my 'A' game I can beat anybody' - Daryl Gurney speaks ahead of Huybrechts clash

Daryl Gurney will start his campaign tonight at the World Championship with a potentially tricky test against the Belgian Ronny Huybrechts who has shown good form in spells this year and will be wanting to knock out one of the favourites for the prestigious title come January. He spoke to the Derry Journal ahead of tonights' game and had this to say. 'If I turn up playing my 'A' game I can beat anybody' 'It's been a long year but I've sort of saved myself for the Worlds'. Ahead of tonights' game he assessed his opponent and admitted he won't have an 'easy opener' by any means. 'I wouldn't say I have an easy opener' said Gurney. 'Ronny's a difficult player because he's either got an 'A' game or a 'Z' game. He's either very good or poor. He hasn't got a 'B' game. Whereas someone like myself, I've got a very good 'B' game and could beat him with my 'B' game if I was playing well and he was playing poorly'.
