Snooker: Ding win Championship League

China's Ding Junhui won the Championship League Snooker title after producing outstanding snooker to beat Judd Trump in the final at Crondon Park Golf Club in Essex.



The 24-year-old knocked in breaks of 117, 70 and 80 to beat Trump 3-1, pocketing the £10,000 top prize and earning himself a place in snooker's Premier League in the summer.

"I'm very pleased to have won this. It's always good to win but chances to qualify for the Premier League were running out with just Beijing and Sheffield to go," said Ding.

"It's great match practice and my form over the four days this week was good."

Ding had beaten 3-1 Barry Hawkins in the semi-finals, while 2011 World Championship finalist Trump had whitewashed Mark Allen 3-0.

The winner will now head back to his homeland for the China Open in Beijing this week
