Davis Considers The Long Run

Steve Davis believes that running the Sheffield Half Marathon this May will help him prolong his snooker career.

The 54-year-old snooker legend is joining other green baize stars such as Shaun Murphy, Peter Ebdon and Michael Holt for the 13-mile run in Sheffield on May 27, to raise money for the Paul Hunter Foundation.

And six-times World Champion Davis, now playing his 34th consecutive season on the main tour, hopes he's still got plenty of time on the professional circuit.


Next Wednesday, Davis competes in the Betfred.com World Championship qualifiers at the English Institute of Sport - Sheffield. He'll face either Joe Swail, Daniel Wells or Ben Woollaston in his first match, and if he wins that he'll face Dominic Dale for a place at the Crucible.




Davis also had some words of encouragement for his son Greg, who will attempt to qualify for the pro circuit when he plays in Q School in Sheffield in May. He added: "It will be fascinating to see how he gets on. I know he is practising his head off to be ready and I just hope he enjoys it. He'll have more eyes on him than most of the other players, but hopefully he'll be able to relax and play well.
