SNAKE, RATTLE & ROLL

Plenty of venom left in colourful Wright

- BY MIKE WALTERS

PETER WRIGHT has assured fans that talk of him shedding his 'Snakebite' skin is a load of cobras.

And when the two-time world champion gets the party started against Noa-Lynn van Leuven at Alexandra Palace today, Wright insists that the man who plays the viper will call the tune again.

At last month's Players Championship Finals in Minehead, Wright ditched his trademark warpaint and Mohawk because he was relegated to stage two - where TV exposure was limited - and he did not want to spend hours in the barber's chair for a peep show.
