SNOOKER Pre-tournament favourite Harvey Chandler defeated Southend's Matt Glasby 2-1 to win snooker's Champions Trophy at the Court Club, Bretton. Chandler battled back from 0-2 down to survive his first round encounter with Russell Huxter 3-2 before sealing wins over Neil Dowlman (3-0) and reigning Masters Cup and Six Reds champion Paul Sparrow 3-1 in the semi-finals.

It was the Northamptonshire star's third Legends Tour title to add to his previous two Shoot-Out crowns. Finalist Glasby scored well throughout the day, collecting £225 as runner-up and also the £20 highest break prize for his excellent 105 clearance during his last-four victory over Warrington's Josh Thomond. The tour returns in September when Paul Sparrow will be defending the Masters Cup title that he won last year.
