 HIGGINS CRUCIBLE DREAMS OVER           
 Alex Higgins edged closet to snookjt's 
 wildjtnjss as hj lost his chance to    
 reach the final stages of the Embassy  
 World Championship at Blackpool.       
                                        
 Higgins established leads of 8-3 and   
 9-6 over over world number 205 Darrin  
 Limburg in the fifth qualifying round  
 but lit things slip and lost 10-9.     
                                        
 The volatile Ulsterman then refused to 
 attend the obligatory post-match prius 
 conference and now faces a WPBSA rap.  
                                        
 Rookie sensation David Gray suffered a 
 shock 10-3 defeat against Nick Walker.
