Snooker has now been wrapped up for the calendar year (with the exception of the Macau Masters).

Hope everyone in the snooker community has a great Christmas and best wishes for the new year. Stay safe! See you on the other side 👍

What awful news to end the night on after the UK final. We learn the passing of Terry Griffiths.. the 1979 world champion has passed away at the age of 77 😢

2024 sucks. Another legend of our great sport departs us. RIP Terry.. thoughts with his family and friends 🙏

Judd Trump certainly didn’t have it easy at the UK Championship. Tough draw but a brilliant set of results and fully deserved winner 🙌

Gutted for Barry Hawkins but what a fantastic effort. Really hope he has his day on the big stage one day.

Congratulations to Judd Trump 👏
