Live commentary from me on the climax of the first Triple Crown event of the season, the UK Championship final between Mark Selby and Judd Trump at York's Barbican Centre.

I was delighted to see one of the great voices of sport, Hazel Irvine, at the UK Championship in York and I asked her about Ronnie O'Sullivan as the legendary seven times world champion turns 50.

I speak to my great friend and colleague Phil Haigh about Ronnie O'Sullivan, in the week the seven times world champion turns 50. What has he meant to snooker over the years? Is Phil surprised he's still going on? And do we need to worry about a future in the sport without O'Sullivan?

Here's another interesting line from Stephen Hendry following my chat with the seven times world champion at the Crucible Cup event in Reading.
