It's been an enjoyable last day. I do think it's time for John Virgo to hang up his mic though.

…but he makes it to the line. A dogged performance from the new champ!

Yep. Pretty evenly matched, in the end. But the Kettering boy prevailed. Which is how it should be.

Wanted Wilson to win as he seems a likeable guy. Also thought he deserved to win, as he was the most consistent performer over the 17 days.

A sad day for snooker as Clive Everton passes away- during the tournament at which the trophy bears his name. RIP Clive, champion of and ambassador for snooker and billiards. A fitting obituary by David Hendon:

Yes very sad, I think he was the best commentator ever. Lovely tribute by Dave Hendon.

Haven't watched this yet but reckom it could be a good and some others may like it as well. I've warmed a lot to Hendry watching his channel.

I like a lot of those Hendry videos so will watch that at some point. He seems quite a likeable bloke. Quite self-deprecating.

Deciding frame in the Players Championship Final, now on ITV4. Judd Trump 9 Kyren Wilson 9.

Yeah I didn't used to like him but since he started commentating and doing his Youtube channel he seems like a good bloke.

It was so boring when he used to win every year but hindsight is a wonderful thing and I recognise it for the achievement it was now.

Never enjoyed him as a player, but hard to argue he competed in a weak era when he was playing Davis, White and (the real) class of '92.
