Judd and Luca were yesterday, 13 May 2017, in Belgium, at Luca Brecel Snooker Academy to play an exhibition in support of Kika, a charity that supports children with cancer and their families since 2002. It was a great night: Luca won the exhibition match, playing very well indeed. Grove has a long history of supporting Kika since top referee Jan Verhaas and snooker blogger Annet Van Riel organised the first “Kika” snooker event in the Netherlands back in 2012; at the time Judd and Ronnie O’Sullivan had offered signed cues for the auction.

The event made it to the local TV news. Here is a link to a small article, and a video featuring both players, playing and being interviewed.

This is translation of the article:

Snooker fans were spoiled in Maasmechelen on Saturday evening. Indeed Luca Brecel was there playing an exhibition match against Judd Trump, from Britain, no less, the n°3 in the world and also one of the most spectacular player on the circuit. The mztch was organised by Brecel’s father to help a 3 years old boy suffering from cancer.

The evening was a great success and here are a few pictures:
