CORK’S AARON HILL lost out in a place in the World snooker Championships at the Crucible, Sheffield, when he lost for a second year in a row to David Gilbert on Judgement Day.
Hill has shown remarkable consistency in qualifying for his 12th consecutive championship, but Hill, who lost 10-9 to Gilbert last year, got off to a good start in the morning session, jumping into a 4-2 lead.
However, he wasn’t scoring heavily and Gilbert finished 5-4 ahead when they broke before the second session, his highpoint coming with a break of 141 in the third frame.
When they came back, Gilbert won the last four frames to progress.
