Leone Crowley makes history as the first Irish WSF junior champion.

HISTORY: Leone Crowley is the world junior snooker champion.

Cork teenager Leone Crowley is set to rub shoulders with Ronnie O’Sullivan, world champion Kyren Wilson, and his hero Judd Trump, after making history for Ireland by winning the WSF junior championship in Morocco.

The 18-year-old from Ballyvolane came through a field of 57 players, representing 22 different countries, to eventually whitewash English 16-year-old Kaylan Patel, 5-0, in the decider, at the Radisson Blu Resort in Saidia, capturing, in the process, a professional tour card for 2025/26 and 2026/27.
