The 2013 snooker world championship belonged to Ronnie O'Sullivan. Every aspect of O'Sullivan was on show, from his audacious shot making to his colourful personality. To mark the conclusion of the tournament we put together a list of 5 memorable moments from the tournament. Unsurprisingly O'Sullivan features heavily.

The match referee reprimanded O'Sullivan for making what she called "a lewd gesture". O'Sullivan claimed he was just checking his cue. A decent attempt at an excuse but c'mon Ronny, we al know what you were doing.
A Kerry and a Leitrim jersey make appearances at the Crucible
We've seen them at Augusta and at post-Stanley Cup riots and now the snooker world championship. The GAA jersey is making serious inroads into its bucket list.

Barry Hawkins earned a lot of plaudits for giving O'Sullivan a good game in the final and this trick shot was one thing that certainly caught the eye (17 mins in). Tactical battles turn many casual fans off snooker so seeing an ambitious trick shot like this come off was a welcome sight.
