A new charity to introduce disabled and underprivileged children to snooker has been established by Lindsey Hunter, the wife of Paul Hunter who lost his battle with cancer last month.

Lightning struck twice as a rampant Ronnie O’Sullivan breezed to a successful defence of his BetFred Premier League title in Manchester tonight.

Paul Hunter has confirmed he will compete at the Embassy World Championship after coming through his first night of competitive action since revealing he has cancer.

PAUL Hunter, in his first competitive match since he revealed he has cancer, fought back at the Betfred Premier League in Doncaster last night.

Ronnie O’Sullivan showed an all too rare sense of excitement after setting up a mouth-watering semi-final with his fellow crowd-pleaser Jimmy White at the Rileys Club Masters.
