Davis returns to the scene of his biggest disappointment ─ a year ago he lost 18-17 in the final to Dennis Taylor, despite taking an 8-0 lead. "It is another World Championship and they have no relationship to each other," Davis said. "All I'm thinking about is Ray. He beat me the last time we met a few years ago in the Yamaha." Taylor also starts out tomorrow, against Mike Hallett. >>>>>  Sport headlines 130 Racing Ch4 470

The perfume company has withdrawn because of re-structuring in the firm's senior management and a change in marketing policies. The World and Professional Billiards and Snooker Association says it has already received inquiries from other potential sponsors. Canadian Cliff Thorburn beat Londoner Jimmy White 12-10 in the first and last Goya final held at Stoke in October. Embassy World Ch'ships >>>>>  Sport headlines 130 Racing Ch4 470
