Welsh snooker player Jak Jones secured his first professional ranking title, winning the 2026 Championship League after 16 years on the tour. The 32-year-old beat England's David Gilbert 3-2 in the final in Leicester, taking home the £33,000 top prize. Jones said the win felt "unreal" and was a tribute to his wife, son, and parents who have supported him.
