The Seniors Masters 2018 was played at the Crucible theatre on April 12, 2018.

Cliff Thorburn played hard match snooker all day to lift the Seniors Masters Trophy: he beat Jonathan Bagley on a deciding re-spotted black in the Final. It had been over 30 years since Cliff had won a title and this image sums up what it meant to him!
