The UK Snooker Championship is under way with 128 players being whittled down to 64 over the next few days in the first round.

Mark Williams, Mark Selby and Ding Junhui are all in action during the afternoon session in matches they’re expected to win without a wobble.

The day continues with an evening session dominated by the iconic Ronnie O’Sullivan, who begins his quest to conquer the UK Championship for an unprecedented eighth time.

The Rocket already boasts the record for most UK Championship wins (7), four clear of the next present player at this year’s tournament, John Higgins.

With a day of snooker to look forward to, make sure to keep updated with our full schedule of upcoming session times.
