What a superb final - but fantastic to see such a dynamic and clinical finish from the incredible Wu Yize!
A touching winner’s speech dedicated to his parents.
Wu-nderful stuff - and reaffirmed my love for the game, this tournament and any underdog journey.
1/2
2/2 and if I’ve shared any #snooker tweets with you this last few days, thanks so much for adding to the joy that this sport and this event brings. Lovely to reconnect with some of you and find fellow green baize aficionados!
Until the UK Championship, Masters and next year!
Yucky spider rest shenanigans there- almost nonchalantly taken? And almost punished but a good chance to draw level here…. I’m hoping for it to go to a decider #snooker
Great piece on @crucibletheatre tonight on @BBCSnooker’s coverage. Delighted at the news that this tournament will stay here for another generation to relish. I must return there for the snooker again- a truly special venue!
Ok that’s the snooker done tonight but the projector is still on and couldn’t resist one of my favourite scenes from all of science fiction… #StarTrek

Definitely felt the loss of JV since he passed away, and felt a little hesitant to dive into this tournament because of it. A touching and sincere tribute from @BBCSnooker just now. Classy and appreciated. All of us that love the game have lost a much loved part of it. #snooker
Ok here we go - snooker final, evening session 1 of 2, projector screen tripod delicately placed between son’s wooden railway track A fairly pedestrian afternoon session but here’s hoping things heat up and hopefully this one goes all the way!

What. A. Match!
It had everything! Felt a nervous wreck at times just watching from the comfort of a sofa on a big projector screen with a few beers. That Frame. That Black! That Decider! Crucible Christmas came 2 days early- will the final be as exciting?! Hope so! #snooker
I bloody love this sport!
A nervous wreck watching this but whoever that arse shouting out was needs ejecting swiftly. Zero tolerance approach to this nonsense from tomorrow please @WeAreWST @crucibletheatre
As much as I love a bit of #TOTP as well, this particular chunk of schedule shifting #snooker stuff is only once a year.
For anyone wanting a fix, here’s the iPlayer link that might be handy:

We have the technology….
A bonus advantage of performing with audio visual kit is being able to whip it out for other special occasions.
The big screen is set up for the last semi final session as a dry run for the 2 day highlight of my sporting calendar. Cheers! #snooker

Ok it’s best of 3 here now - who are you rooting for?
Personally hoping Higgins but have enjoyed Murphy’s efforts more than other years when he’s been involved in punditry.
It really is anyone’s… and even my toddler has stopped to say “it hasn’t gone in!” #snooker

Haven’t seen as much as usual of the World Snooker but enjoying Robertson Higgins.
What is bloody annoying is every time I’ve caught 15 mins or half an hour of coverage, someone’s phone has gone off. Standards have slipped and it needs sorting
