Stan moody crucible

Stan Moody Crucible: Stan Moody's Crucible debut ended in defeat as the teenager made critical errors in the closing stages of a 10-7 defeat against Kyren Wilson in the first round of the World Snooker Championship.

The 19-year-old British teen, was on course to become the youngest player to win a match at the Crucible since Ronnie O'Sullivan in 1995 when he led 7-3, but crucially he passed up a chance to go 8-3 ahead, and later another to make it 8-6.

Wilson showed the resolve which won him the title in 2024 as he stormed back to take the last seven frames and punched the air in relief as he celebrated victory. Having avoided a seismic Sheffield shock, the world number two is into the last 16 and will face Mark Allen on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, World Snooker reports.
