Double Champs in Leicester City as Mark Selby wins Snooker Championship

  England's world number one Mark Selby beat China's Ding Junhui 18-14 to win his second World Championship title.

Selby, the 2014 winner from Leicester, led throughout Sunday and went into Monday's final session leading 14-11. Ding, who was bidding to become the first Asian player to win the world title, claimed three frames in a row.
But Selby dug deep to seal a brilliant double for the city of Leicester, whose football team became Premier League champions 13 minutes earlier.
"It is fantastic," Selby told BBC TV. "It was very special to win it two years ago, but I felt under a lot more pressure now than I did two years ago.

"In the first to 18, a 6-0 lead is not a huge one, especially against someone like Ding. He played fantastically earlier today and I had to just hang on to him.
"I'm just over the moon. I saved my best performance for the final and I only had two good sessions in the tournament. Luckily my 'B' game is pretty good.
And on Leicester City's incredible Premier League title success, he added: "To be Premier League champions is a fantastic achievement and I want to say well done to Claudio Ranieri and the boys."
