CHAMPIONSHIP LEAGUE is back on our screens, marking the return of snooker after the World Snooker Championship.
Ronnie O’Sullivan was a semi-finalist at the tournament, losing to eventual winner Zhao Xintong.
The Rocket famously smashed his cue in the Championship League back in January, beginning a hiatus from the sport.

The tour has been on a break for the summer, meaning none of the top stars in the sport have been in action as of late.
