SELBY THROUGH TO WINNERS’ GROUP

Mark Selby secured his passage into the Championship League Snooker Invitational Winners’ Group in Leicester, defeating defending champion John Higgins in the Group Three final.

Four-time world champion Selby ran out a 3-0 winner against the Wizard of Wishaw to book a place in March’s Winner’s Group alongside Stuart Bingham and Chris Wakelin.

Higgins topped the group table with four victories in six matches, then beat Neil Robertson 3-0 in the semi-finals. Earlier in the day, Kyren Wilson made the fifth 147 of his career during his group match against Tom Ford. Wilson eventually finished third in the table, before losing 3-0 to a determined Selby, who went on to dominate the final against Higgins with breaks of 123, 99 and 72. 

“I felt like over the two days I played well and scored heavily,” said Selby. “The Championship League is great practice – I feel I’ve been struggling lately to get results. To have a lot of matches, even though it’s a short format, keeps you on your toes.

“Even if I hadn’t won the group, I wouldn’t have been too disappointed as I’d have had another couple of days of matches. But it’s great to be sure of a place in the Winners’ Group.”

Group Four gets underway from 11am on Wednesday, with Barry Hawkins, Ricky Walden and Jimmy Robertson joining the competition. Fans are able to view the action on Matchroom.live in the United Kingdom.
