Snooker: Hamilton stuns Harold

Anthony Hamilton completed an amazing turnaround in his Embassy World Championship first-round match against Dave Harold by storming to a 10-6 victory at Sheffield’s Crucible Theatre today.

The 30-year-old, originally from Nottingham and nicknamed the Robin Hood of Snooker, looked unable to get into the contest when he trailed 4-1 yesterday morning as Harold began like a house on fire.
