Snooker in the News

World Championship final today and have to say again its been overshadowed by the John Higgins match fixing scandal rocking the game right now. I only hope Barry Hearn gets to the bottom of things right away and takes the neccessary action, if that means a lifetime ban for John Higgins then so be it. Steve Davis hit the nail on the head,  saying he expected Hearn's influence will be crucial in attempting to restore the game's integrity. "With Barry Hearn in the process of taking the game over, he may be able to cut the cancer out of it from day one," said the Nuggett. Here's hoping Steve.

In the interim I am still on the hunt for sponsorship for the trip to Bucharest having estimated the total cost to be approximately £1250 in total. That is going be even more difficult given the cloud over the game worldwide, anybody that thinks that the professional game will be the only one to suffer is mistaken, the global integrity of snooker both professional and amatuer is at stake.All players and fans alike can only hope and wait for Barry Hearn to cure the disease from the game, I wonder if John Higgins wants to sponsor my trip? John...John?
