Rodney Walker Re-Elected As WPBSA Chairman

Sir Rodney Walker has been re-elected as chairman of the World Professional Billiards and Snooker Association.

The vote happened at the Association's annual general meeting in Sheffield after he was required to retire from the position by rotation.

He was then re-elected by the sport's voting players.

Fellow board members Peter Ebdon, Lee Doyle, Sir David Richards and Dr Hamish McInnes were also re-elected, having been required to retire.

Sir Rodney took over as head of world snooker in 2004, having previously held senior positions with Leicester City FC, the Rugby Football League and UK Sport.

He was also chairman of the Wembley Stadium building project.
