THIS is the awkward moment a Champions League snooker match was interrupted by an ice cream van. The hilarious incident occurred during Stephen Maguire’s battle against James Cahill at the Mattioli Arena in Leicester. The two men put on a brave snooker battle in the heat. But it was Maguire who came out on top in a 3-1 victory. Despite his brilliant display, the ace was left flustered at one point. He was looking to hit his second century of the match when he was rudely interrupted by a noise. Maguire was looking to pot a red having already racked up a break of 64. But as he prepared to take the shot, the distinctive sound of an ice cream van could be heard blaring in the background. The noise appeared to throw off Maguire, who took his shot but missed the target. The strange moment even caught a chuckle from commentator Phil Yates.
