Snooker association faces backlash over WSE axe

The snooker world looks set to be hit by yet another major political row in the wake of this week’s decision by the World Professional Billiards and Snooker Association to axe the game’s commercial arm, World Snooker Enterprises.

World Snooker Ltd chairman Tony Lewis yesterday resigned in protest at the move, while WSE are set to hit back with court action.
