Chuffed to bits that Alan "Angles" McManus is part of Channel 5's Snooker punditry team. Listening to him whether he's in the studio or commentary box always brightens up my day, even whilst going through a rough time. Thank you 5! 😊 #Snooker #PlayersChampionship #Telford #Channel5

The standing ovation for Ding Junhui and Scott Donaldson along with the little hug at the end of their match was so lovely to see. Commiserations to Scott after a brilliant comeback from 5 - 3 down to take it to a decider, but he should be very proud of himself. 🎱👏 #Snooker #UKChampionship

A tale of two halves this evening. "The Hawk" was simply flying tonight, as he whitewashed Elliot Slessor 6 - 0, whereas Shaun Murphy fought back from 4 - 1 behind in a thrilling tussle against John Higgins to scrape through 6 - 5. The quarter-finals get underway tomorrow. #Snooker #UKChampionship

Couldn't be more thrilled for "The Jester From Leicester."🥲 His first Champion of Champions title, and to win it in front of his home crowd; what a week it's been for Mark Selby - A true Snooker great! 🎱👏 #Snooker #ITVSnooker #JesterFromLeicester #ChampionOfChampions

We all knew there was something special about this tremendous player, even before he emerged on the main tour four years ago. A huge congratulations to Wu Yize who has finally captured his maiden ranking title at the 2025 #InternationalChampionship 🏆👏 #Snooker #TNTSport

Alyssa Walsh @snookerloopyowl.bsky.social · 07/11/2025

After Jack Lisowski's triumph in Belfast, the total number of players who are ranking event winners currently stands at 79, which means that if Wu Yize wins on Sunday, he'll become the 80th player to have won a ranking title. 🎱🏆 #Snooker #TNTSport #InternationalChampionship

Alyssa Walsh @snookerloopyowl.bsky.social · 04/11/2025

Well done to Stephen Maguire, though I am gutted for Kyren Wilson. Snooker can be a cruel game at times. 😔 The result sadly may not have gone his way, but I do applaud "The Warrior" for reaching his 50th century break of exactly 💯 #Snooker #TNTSport #InternationalChampionship

Alyssa Walsh @snookerloopyowl.bsky.social · 02/11/2025

A great effort overall by Allan Taylor against Ronnie O'Sullivan, but four consecutive centuries including his 64th career break of exactly 💯 allowed "The Rocket" to seal a 6 - 5 victory. #Snooker #TNTSport #InternationalChampionship

Alyssa Walsh @snookerloopyowl.bsky.social · 26/10/2025

It's been a 15-year wait, but after an outstanding climax at the Waterfront Hall in Belfast between two great friends, Jack Lisowski is a ranking event winner at last.🏆 A truly sensational talent and a total gentleman - absolutely chuffed to bits for him! 🥰👏 #Snooker #HomeNations #NIOpen #TNTSport

Alyssa Walsh @snookerloopyowl.bsky.social · 26/10/2025

This is literally "heart in the mouth" stuff at the Waterfront Hall. With Jack Lisowski now requiring just one more frame for a maiden ranking title, I really hope he hangs in there and finally make the breakthrough 🎱🤞 #Snooker #HomeNations #NorthernIrelandOpen

It will be a case of putting their friendship aside today, for Judd Trump and Jack Lisowski will be going head-to-head in the 2025 Northern Ireland Open final. My head says Judd, but deep down I'm very much hoping that it will finally be the day that Jack clinches his first ever ranking title.🤞

Alyssa Walsh @snookerloopyowl.bsky.social · 13/10/2025

A sensational, record breaking triumph in China for Mark Williams. He becomes the oldest player ever to win a ranking event since Ray Reardon back in 1982, and the first player to win ranking titles in their teens, 20s, 30s, 40s and 50s. What a player, what a character! 🎱👏

Mark Allen has secured his 12th career ranking title, as he becomes the 2025 English Open champion. Having overcome a terrific comeback from Zhou Yuelong who trailed 5 - 1 then 6 - 2 at the end of the 1st session, "The Pistol" hung in there to take the decider and capture the Steve Davis Trophy 🏆👏

That was pretty much a final for the ages. Ronnie O'Sullivan produced a fantastic comeback from 7 - 2 down to lead 9 - 8, but "The Thunder From Down Under" hung in there to emerge victorious and capture the 2025 #SaudiArabiaMasters title. Huge congratulations to Robbo 🏆👏 #snooker #TNTsports

The 1st Round of this year's World Championship has concluded, with another seed being sent packing. What a result for Ben Woollaston though; he has captured what is quite possibly his biggest win to date, as well as reaching the 2nd Round at the Crucible for the first time in his career. 🎱👏

Congratulations to Chris Wakelin for reaching the 2nd Round of the World Championship for the first time in his professional career. Neil Robertson fought back last night from 7 - 2 down to make it 7 - 7, but Chris managed to hang in there in the end to win 10 - 8 🎱👏 #Snooker #WorldChampionship
