Irish Higher Education Snooker Championships
Queen's University regained the Frank Trainor Cup by winning the Irish Higher Education Snooker Championships held in Dublin on 4th December. Although holders University of Ulster failed to show for the event, the Belfast team were head and shoulders above their rivals and secured an easy win.
This success, and that of their "B" team in reaching the final, bodes well for Queen's chances at the British Universities (BUSA) Championships to be held in February.

Ultimate Challenge for People's Champion
Twice World Snooker Champion Alex Higgins underwent an operation yesterday at Belfast Royal Victoria Hospital for the removal of a lymph gland in his continuing battle against throat cancer.
Members of the 49-year-old Belfast man's family were at his bedside last night where it was reported that surgeons are pleased with progress.
The Hurricane had undergone nine weeks of intensive radiotherapy prior to the operation, the second time he has had a cancerous growth removed.
In a hell-raising career spanning more than 25 years, Higgins is thought to have earned and blown a �3 M fortune. Despite the many low points, his admirers world-wide will remember his all-action style and few will deny the part he played in making snooker a popular TV sport.
Former world champion Ken Doherty, who expressed his concern for Alex's health after a recent phone call in which Higgins "could hardly speak," attributed his own entry into the sport to the Hurricane, someone who "has given pleasure to millions."
In recent years, Higgins has slipped down the rankings and was seen by many as a sad reflection of the player who was better than the rest in the 70s and much of the 80s but whose matchless talents were never reflected in a host of major titles.

So, Stephen Hendry takes the �12,000 first prize in this "warm-up" to the China International.
John Higgins had the highest break, with a 127 in the final frame of his match against Hendry.
Ronnie Loses Irish Masters Title
Ronnie O'Sullivan has been stripped of hisBenson & Hedges Irish Masters title and the �61,130 first prize after failing a drug test. The test showed traces of cannabis.
Ken Doherty, who was originally beaten 9-3 by Ronnie in the final, has now been awarded the winner's cheque and the trophy. Doherty's runner-up prize of �27,712 will probably be returned to the sponsor.
Doc Martens Premier League
Ken Doherty won the 1998 Doc Martens Premier League by beating Jimmy White 10-2 in the final. The victory earned him �60,000 and it was his second success in this tournament.
In the semi-finals White defeatedJohn Higgins 6-4 and Doherty beatStephen Hendry 6-5, despite a 147 by the Scot. This was Hendry's record fifth competitive maximum.
