Snooker: Andrew Higginson faces Anthony Hamilton in the first round of the Welsh Open

SNOOKER: Last year’s shock Welsh Open runner-up Andrew Higginson heads back to Newport today in the hope that lightning will strike twice.

The Widnes-based player completed a remarkable run from the first qualifying round to within a frame of taking the title 12 months ago before losing out 9-8 to Neil Robertson.

Higginson, who also made a televised 147 break in the tournament, beat Jimmy White in this season’s qualifiers to secure a return and faces Anthony Hamilton in the first round.
