Higgins comeback delayed

FORMER world champion Alex Higgins has again put his comeback plans on hold.

NO SHOW ... Higgins

Higgins, world champion in 1972 and again ten years later, had entered the qualifiers for the 2003 Embassy World Championship and was due to play his first match at the Manhattan Snooker Club in Harrogate on Saturday against either Ireland’s Bill Kelly or Manchester pro Frank Fitzgerald.

But the 53-year-old from Belfast confirmed today he will not compete due to continued dental treatment, the same reason given for his withdrawal from last month’s Benson and Hedges Championship.
