    I have got the snooker on BBC 2 from Ally Pally and both players are called Wilson - Kyren and Gary. I can't remember any professional match where two players with the same surname have played against each other, although I am sure it has happened in the past.
    And it happened again in Round One at the Crucible this year - Kyren beat Gary, and Kyren stayed in until beaten by Shaun Murphy in the semi-finals. It made me think as he was mentioned as K Wilson in round one and just Wilson after that - I would have thought it was have caused confusion as a result from the second found onwards.

    Anyway, congratulations to Mark "The Jester from Leicester" Selby on his fourth win at the Crucible - saw it on BBC Two until the finish at 10.30 pm. Nice that an East Midlander wins again.

    I've everything I need to keep me satisfied
    There's nothing you can do to make me change my mind
    I'm having so much fun
    My lucky number's one
    Ah! Oh! Ah! Oh!

      Slight anti-climax for me. Murphy should not have attempted the red on the cushion, which cost him the championship. I was looking forward to a possible final frame.

        I thought that World Snooker was the end of the season, but I saw on the Red button the seniors tournament that was on last week. Dennis Taylor and Hendry had a go but lost in earlier rounds.

        It was a Lillywhite final because David Lilley played Jimmy White - Lilley won over JW (who always seemed to be the Billy Fury of snooker - i.e. always seemed to end second and not quite get to number one).

          It turns out that the game season has dragged on? Or how should it be understood correctly?

            I don't think that it has "dragged on" to be honest.

              And of course, we didn't have protests, covering the snooker tables with orange powder back in the day; supergluing themselves to the table, or alarms going off. It's great that we still have Dennis Taylor doing commentary.

              I noted down ten players as my "ten to follow" and all ten made it to the second round - O'Sullivan being the wildcard.

                I was absolutely delighted to see Kyren win on Monday - he comes across as a brilliant and generous sort of chap. I feasted out on a McDonald's takeaway ordered online in the afternoon and evening, watching the final on BBC Two. Best way to spend a May Day Bank Holiday Monday.

                Indeed, I got his autograph in August 2021 - A top bloke indeed. No disrespect to Jak Jones, however - I will hopefully be staying in Wales in August in his honour, providing that Sunak doesn't schedule the General Election at the same time.

                Also, I noticed that the seniors tornament is on this week as well, on Channel 5, surprisingly. Is the first time that Channel 5 have covered snooker? I believe that Eurosport or ITV4 usually covered it in previous years.
