Teenage snooker star Riley Powell opens up on friendly "abuse" and help from Mark Williams

Teenage snooker sensation Riley Powell has spoken about the friendly "abuse" and help that training partner Mark Williams has given him after the 14-year-old introduced himself onto the world stage.

Powell showed composure beyond his years to come back from 30-0 down to beat world No.8 Kyren Wilson 41-31 in the Snooker Shoot Out. The short-form competition sees players compete over just one frame or a 10-minute time limit, whichever comes first.

Welsh under-18 champion Powell has been playing for six years in his home town of Tredegar in Wales and practices at the same club as three-time world champion Williams - who is also competing at the competition.
