Judd Trump wins Shot of the Season for sensational Belfast pot

Take a bow, Judd Trump.

Talk about cue ball control of the highest order.

This cracking pot and positional play has been voted the Shot of the Season by snooker fans.

And it happened on our very doorstep.

Trump's superb pot came at the Northern Ireland Open tournament held at Belfast's Waterfront Hall last November.

The World number one fires in the back before arrowing the cue ball up and down the table to split three reds to leave himself on another pot.

Even opponent John Higgins can be seen nodding in appreciation.

Trump was also named Player of the Year after a record-breaking performance across the 2019/20 season.

He became the first player to win six ranking titles in a single season - including the World Open, International Championship, Northern Ireland Open, German Masters, Players Championship and Gibraltar Open.

This year's Northern Ireland Open is set to be held at the Marshall Arena in Milton Keynes this November.

The venue is set to host the first eight events of the new season as organisers look to limit the chances of tournaments being cancelled due to any increase in Covid-19 in a given area.
