MARK WILLIAMS has earned a “ridiculous” tribute after finally winning the Champion of Champions title – aged 49.

World No3 Mark Allen claimed it’s “not normal” that the Welshman is still so good.

Williams turned professional 32 years ago and lifted the first of his three world crowns back in 2000.

Nonetheless, he was close to his peak at times as he beat Xiao Guodong 10-6 in Sunday’s final to win £150,000.

Williams said afterwards he was “over the moon”.

And he’s certainly not over the hill – judging by both his performance and the reaction of rivals.

Xiao, 35, battled back from 5-0 down to trail just 5-4, helped by two century breaks.

But Williams then rattled off table visits of 104, 62, 80, 95 and 67 to clinch his maiden Champion of Champions glory.

Northern Irishman Allen posted on X: “Ridiculous again from Mark Williams… to be still be one of the very best in the game at his age is not normal.” 

The 38-year-old added: “One of the all-time greats for sure. Enjoy your victory kebab.”

The world No6 replied: “ty [Thank you] Pistol” – Allen’s nickname.

And despite his 50th birthday coming next March, he stressed he’s in mood to stop competing at the top level.

Williams said: “I’m not going to retire – I’m enjoying it.

“What a feeling. I can’t really believe it. I’m going to keep playing until I fall off the tour – whenever that is.”

He also had a mischievous swipe at pal Stephen Hendry – after the veteran’s decision to change his equipment was proved resoundingly right.

Williams told ITV4: “I had a new cue, which I knew I was going to struggle with, I knew I was going to lose two or three first-rounders.

‘I’ve been getting slated by a lot of people for changing cues – I’m not going to mention any names, Hendry.

“But it’s starting to come alright now and all of a sudden the cue is the best thing I’ve ever had in my hands.”

DARKER days and cold, wet weather can put you off wanting to head out on your bike.

But cycling can save you money on the commute and keep you active, without the cost of a gym membership.

MANCHESTER CITY striker Erling Haaland takes centre stage in the latest Beats by Dre advert set in Norway.

The short film shows of the 22-year-old’s incredible strength and endurance.

It opens with Haaland meditating among a pack of wolves in the forest before he embarks on a run through the Norwegian mountains.

The striker is then seen jogging on a spinning log in the middle of a calm lake.

He continues his workout by doing pull-ups on the edge of a cliff before chopping a pile of wood and walking across hot coals with his bare feet.

It ends with Haaland waking up under a blanket of snow, putting on his sky blue headphones and staring down the camera.

The ad is for Beats’ latest campaign titled: “Ordinary is for everyone else.”

Haaland’s presence in the Premier League has been far from ordinary since he joined Man City two years ago.

In his first season in England, the striker broke a record set by Andy Cole and Alan Shearer to become the highest-scoring Prem star in a single campaign.

He already has two Golden Boots to his name, as well as two Premier League titles, the Champions League, the FA Cup and the UEFA Super Cup.

Haaland is understood to be in line to become the Prem’s top earner.

The striker has reportedly been offered a new deal at Man City that will make him the highest-paid star in the history of England’s top flight.

He currently earns £375,000-per-week at the Etihad, but City bosses are willing to up that to £500,000-per-week.

The proposed deal allegedly runs until the end of the 2028-29 campaign.

SHOPPERS are legging it to get to their nearest B&M store, keen to get their hands on cabin cases and bags that have been slashed.

So if you’re lucky enough to be jetting abroad any time soon, but don’t want to fork out for a hold bag, you’ve come to the right place.

For just £3, this foldable cabin case is a real bargain[/caption]

There’s nothing more annoying than trying to squeeze your holiday items into a tiny rucksack to take with you on a flight, but thanks to these affordable bags, you’ll be able to fit in everything you need for your next trip.

And you won’t have to worry about getting a tape measure out, as these bags are suitable for EasyJet flights.

It comes after one bargain hunter was browsing her local B&M, when she spotted the epic discounts.

Thrilled with her finds, Melania Theodor Eli took to social media to share a close-up look at her cheap buys, leaving many open-mouthed.

Posting on BARGAIN LOVERS, Poundland, Home Bargains, B&M, Primark, The Range, a public Facebook group with 417,600 members, Melania shared snaps of her purchases – a cabin bag and a cabin case – and wrote: “My bargain for today from B&M.”

Melania was lucky enough to get her hands on the Bordlite cabin carry-on, which was once priced at £18, but had since been reduced to just £3.

The grey bag has multiple organiser pockets, a handy carry handle and is made from a durable material.

It’s got two wheels so can be pushed along if you prefer and it’s suitable for putting under your seat on an EasyJet flight.

Not only is it now incredibly affordable, but it’s £15 cheaper than its original price too.

But not only did Melania nab this epic bargain, she also swiped an Excel foldable cabin case too.

The case, which is hailed as ‘suitable for most airlines’ was once £15, but had also been slashed to just £3, saving Melania an impressive £12.

The handy cabin bag is ideal for weekends and business trips and is designed to fit all the major airlines’ size requirements.

It provides a substantial 30L packing capacity and is perfect for easy travel.

Not only is it compact and lightweight, but it fits in overhead cabin space, making it the perfect hand luggage bag. 

Bargain hunters react

Social media users were clearly left stunned by Melania’s discounted purchases, as her post has quickly racked up over 450 likes.

Savvy shoppers rushed to the comments to praise the cheap finds, with many keen to nab themselves one. 

Just the right size for a cabin bag

One person said: “What a bargain.”

Another added: “Ooo, think I will go look.” 

Whilst a third simply commented: “Amazing.” 

At the same time, one travel enthusiast penned: “I got one for going away in October.

“Just the right size for a cabin bag.” 

A POPULAR chocolate brands has made a major change to their festive offering – with a top-selling Christmas favourite now available in TWO sizes.

Tony’s Chocoloney has revealed they’re making their huge iconic Christmas countdown calendar also available in a smaller version for the first time ever.

And the two Christmas calendars are already selling out across Irish stores – with both not available from the exact same retailers.

Tony’s bosses revealed that their “returning big favourite” – the revamped mega countdown calendar – is “back and better than ever” with a brand new design.

The ethical choc maestros, on a mission to make all chocolate production totally slave-free, have kept their calendar slots unequally divided to highlight inequality in the chocolate industry.

The calendar is packed with 25 tasty Tiny Tony’s chocolates in ten fun flavours and is available in Dunnes Stores and Tesco, as well as speciality stores like Brown Thomas.

The big difference with the compact countdown calendar, apart from the size, is that it only includes two of Tony’s classic flavours – milk caramel sea salt and milk chocolate – across the 24 chocolates included.

The €12 version is available from Supervalu and Centra as well as selected independent stores.

And Tony’s bosses were quick to correct fans who feared the original supersized calendar had been discontinued.

They said: “Hold up.. hold up. Let’s clear up some choco countdown calendar confusion.

“Our original countdown calendar has NOT been discontinued, it’s quite the choco-opposite.

“The big countdown cal now has a NEW smaller countdown pal! By our choco-mathematics that’s two Tony’s countdown calendars this year.

“Makin’ its festive debut..our smaller countdown cal was designed for our choco fans with a serious cocoa crush for our milk + milk caramel sea salt Tiny Tony’s, enjoy these two flavours day by day ‘till the big 25.

“Or enjoy the OG..with 10 flaves of Tiny Tony’s to discover in a box so big it’ll make your door frame say ‘oh heck, oh crumbs!'”

Also in Tony’s festive treat range this year are the Tiny Tony’s Christmas pouch with 15 bite-sized treats across a mix of flavours, priced at €6 in Supervalu, Centra and Tesco stores.

FESTIVE FEAST

The Tiny Tony’s Gift Box has 20 Tiny Tony’s across five classic flavours and is €7.29 from Tesco and independent shops.

And if it’s a chocolate bar you’re after, the Christmas tasting pack includes six small bars across the brand’s top-selling flavours, on sale for €10 across SuperValu, Centra and speciality stores.

Choc chiefs urged Irish punters to choose this Christmas season to make an impact by snapping up their fair trade treats.

They said: “Tony’s is tackling exploitation in the cocoa supply chain all year round but with chocolate sales ready to reach new heights this festive season, Tony’s Chocolonely invites us all to ask: is the chocolate we’re enjoying naughty or nice?

“By choosing Tony’s, you’re supporting a fairer, more sustainable chocolate industry – and staying on Santa’s Nice List while indulging in delicious treats – it’s a win-win for everyone!”

Fans were whipped into a frenzy when Tony’s announced their new festive line-up.

One said: “OMG! Now I just can’t wait for Christmas!”

Another wrote: “Is there any other choice BUT Tony’s?? I don’t see one.. gotta be the big red calendar for me.”

One more added: “The small one is tooooo cute.”

Another said: “You’ve literally thought of everything. You guys are amazing.”
