Saudi Arabia Snooker Masters final LIVE RESULTS: O'Sullivan vs Robertson NOW for £500k JACKPOT after two 147s
'Maddest game' The Rocket says he thought he was on course to LOSE that game when he was level at 3-3. But he went up a gear and dominated the second half of the match. Ronnie said: "It's probably the maddest game I have ever played in. "Maddest game. I played one against Stephen Hendry in Torquay which wasn't televised. I beat the highest break three times in the final. "You have to enjoy it. At 3-3, I'm thinking: 'I'm probably going to lose this game.' I have had a maxi, a 142 clearance and he's a monster. He's so solid. He's a superb competitor. "I'd like to say thank you to Saudi, for what they have done in sport, bringing snooker here. A massive thanks to those guys. The crowd, the venue is great. The players would all say this is their favourite tournament. "It's such a great event. Great good. Hospitality. It's superb. As a player you want to stay in the tournament a bit longer and just milk it as much as you can. "I heard it was £50,000 for a 147. I thought: 'Ah, that's worth going for.' Then I'm thinking, all of a sudden, if I get another one…" In true Rocket fashion, he also had a moan at the WST for being "stingy" with the prize money. He added: 'I would have had plenty more. I was stuck on 15. Now I've gone up to 17. "I could have been in my mid-20s if World Snooker had not been so stingy (with prize money)."

Whittaker secures 'undisclosed transfer' to Southampton
Teenage right-back Rory Whittaker has left Hibernian to join say "terms for the 18-year-old's transfer will remain undisclosed". Whittaker, who became the Easter Road club's youngest player at 16 years and 44 days, had entered the final year of his contract. He scored once in 14 Hibernian appearances and spent time on loan at Spartans last season."As always we have to make difficult decisions regarding our young players, taking into consideration their wishes, their development, their contractual status, and other details," said sporting director Malky Mackay. "There was a lot of interest in Rory from clubs down in England, and as he had a year left on his contract, we decided this was the right deal for Hibernian FC."While the main aim for our academy is to produce players for our own first team, when a move like this comes up - it is difficult to deny a youngster that opportunity."

Ronan Devlin sets sights on ending Erin's Own's wait for Ulster glory
The Cargin side's most recent significant achievement has been a hat-trick of Antrim titles but even this fails to satisfy the appetite of their players and fans. There has been a series of so near yet so far episodes in the Ulster Club Championship but the provincial silverware has proven to be elusive to date. Yet manager Devlin remains hopeful that the team may yet break new ground on the provincial front. The experience acquired by members of his side both at club and county levels is standing the team in good stead as they keep their sights fixed on even bigger targets. 'While it's great to win Antrim titles, we would like to have a real crack at the Ulster title," he said. 'Obviously when you move up in the provincial sphere, life can become more demanding and you have to be up for the challenge. 'We are taking nothing for granted in Antrim. Every time the county Championship comes round, it's there to be won and, while we never tire of winning, we would like to move up in the world a little but we know that this is not easy given the quality of teams you are likely to encounter.' Given their sustained period of success in Antrim, it's not surprising to discover that a solid core of experience underpins the Erin's Own side. Conhuir Johnston, Justin Crozier and Mick McCann are among the long-serving warriors who have played their hearts out for the club, while James Laverty and Eunan Quinn are others who have made an invaluable input to the team's progress over the years. John McNabb is a very competent goalkeeper, while Tomas McCann and Pat Shivers are clinical finishers who are capable of racking up impressive scoring returns and, with several players anxious to break through into the team, competition for starting places is said to be razor-sharp. There is no doubt that the Erin's Own stalwarts will be bidding to impress the new Antrim management that will be put in place and this will provide a further incentive for the players to lift their game. For the moment, though, Cargin's eyes are on St John's when they go head to head at Corrigan Park on Sunday (2.00pm).
