Defending champ O鈥橲ullivan to skip UK Championship

Ronnie O鈥橲ullivan will not defend his title at the UK Championship in York, which starts next month, governing body World Snooker said yesterday.

The five-time champion failed to register before Wednesday鈥檚 deadline, meaning he will be absent from the line-up at the Barbican Centre in the northern English city. O鈥橲ullivan, 39, edged Judd Trump 10-9 in last December鈥檚 final, but has not played in a tour event since his quarterfinal loss to eventual champion Stuart Bingham at the world championship last April. 鈥淭he deadline for entering the tournament was yesterday and Ronnie has not entered, so he will not be competing in York,鈥 said a World Snooker spokesman. The UK Championship runs from November 24 to December 6.
