This August Bank Holiday, I'm going to be taking part in the Epsom Mascot Derby at @EpsomRacecourse as Bobby McBaize, helping to raise money for the fantastic @Childrens_Trust. I'm delighted to have been invited along by the wonderful @Johnny_Potalot, who does so much to promote our game. There'll be mascots representing all sorts of sports, and we'll be proudly flying the flag for snooker! If you fancy sponsoring me at all, I'd be hugely grateful. Absolutely no pressure, as I know times aren't easy for everyone, but anything you can spare would be amazing. If you can't donate, a repost would also mean a lot and really helps spread the word 🙏 If you do donate, please mention Bobby McBaize in your message, as there's a prize for the mascot that raises the most money. It would be brilliant if we could give snooker a good showing! Thank you all! Wish Bobby luck—he will need all he can get 😅 justgiving.com/page/epsommas…

I really want a keyring of the Warrior just so I can call it 'Keyring Wilson'.

The Warrior 💪🏆 #NIOpen

Congratulations to Kyren Wilson on winning the Northern Ireland Open 2026 👏🏆 His eleventh ranking title. He shall henceforth be known as Kyreleven Wilson until he snaffles the next one. Some very much needed ranking points earned for the Warrior—and for my Fantasy Five 💪 #NIOpen

I'd 8-2 be Jak Jones right now. #NIOpen

Whom are you hoping lifts the Alex Higgins Trophy this evening? #NIOpen

Regardless of the result tomorrow, Jak Jones is unquestionably player of the season so far for me now. #NIOpen

I have a ridiculous backlog of messages and comments across pretty much every platform, and it will be a while before I get fully on top of it 😅 Epsom, Cheltenham, Brentwood, and the Fantasy Five transfer window all landed at once a few weeks ago, and I never quite recovered. Then Bosnia and Belfast came along and made things considerably worse 😆 I'm back at work now, so finding time to catch up isn't easy, but I'll get through everything eventually. Logistical and time-sensitive stuff have to take priority. If you've messaged me, I haven't forgotten you! I really do appreciate everyone who takes the time to message, comment, or get in touch, even if my replies are currently operating on a geological timescale 🤣 And if I reply three months late, please assume I've been very carefully crafting my response rather than blatantly ignoring you 😅 Cheers for your patience 🙏🩵

Snooker trading cards! Let's see what I get 🤩

As an epilogue to this—the joke is that if you combine my first name with Lee's surname, you get the name of a famous snooker MC. I've got real problems if I can't tell the difference between Lee Walker and Rob Walker.

Mateusz Baraselfie 🤳 Always makes me feel positively ancient how the 'older' Polish player is still eight years younger than me 🙃 Very nice guy. Disappointed with how he played but still extremely giving and engaging. Hoping for more good runs from him this season. His place on tour isn't remotely secure, so it's a shame he narrowly lost his International qualifier.

Siren Wilson arriving for his match at 4:30.

A post-midnight finish for Jak Jones as he prevails over Daniel Wells. #NIOpen
