Hill two from two on return to international snooker

Manxman bidding for pro circuit return

Manx snooker player Darryl Hill's bid to return to the professional tour has got off to an excellent start - he's competing at the EBSA European Snooker Championships in Sofia, Bulgaria, and the winner gets a place on the pro circuit for the next two years.

Hill won his first two matches 4-1 and 4-0, against 19-year-old Ukrainian Vladyslav Vyshnevskyy and Finland's Joona Koskela.

Today's match (Mon 12) will be his toughest test yet, though, as he plays fellow ex-professional Michael Collumb of Scotland, who is also undefeated so far.
