For those who don't know how it's scored - make a red ball first, then any of the six colored balls, then another red, etc, until you miss.

The venue, (The Guildhall, Preston) is my home town too, small bonus.
Well done Ronnie.

What a great season Ronnie has had!
Heres what Stephen Fry had to say about 1000:
Ladies & Gentlemen - @ronnieo147 Ronnie OSullivan. Watching him play has been a privilege and a delight almost impossible to explain to those who dont know the glorious game of snooker. Thank you Ronnie, thank you a thousand times #1000Centuries

And a century break is 100 points made at one visit to the table. Most really good snooker players spend their lives trying to get a 50 break.
