FIRST lines are so important to a writer. Grab the reader’s attention early on and you’ve got them hooked.
So this week I take my hat off to Dave Hendon, the assistant editor of Snooker Scene magazine and Eurosport commentator.
Dave writes an almost daily piece at snookerscene.blogspot.com.
His boss, legendary snooker commentator Clive Everton, is also famous for his running battles in his magazine and through the courts with the game’s governing body - the WPBSA.
Snooker Scene’s coverage of the women’s game is second only to CueSport’s, in my humble opinion.
Last Monday, Dave opened a piece about the game’s young stars with:
“Like the black pudding industry, any sport – snooker included – relies on a steady supply of fresh blood.”
Priceless.
