Judging by the comments on Twitter from the various snooker personalities attending the awards, it seems as though they have been enjoyed by all and like in darts it is good to see the game’s best players given the opportunity to let their hair down and celebrate an excellent season of snooker in this manner.
As far as the awards themselves are concerned I can’t particularly disagree with any of the selections and am pleased that John, Mark and Judd in particular have all been recognised as they have been the three stories of the season for differing reasons.
