Duffy secures Hunter Scholarship

Adam Duffy received his award from Cliff Thorburn
Duffy will train at the Academy for 12 months

Sheffield's Adam Duffy has become the new recipient of the Paul Hunter Scholarship award.

The scholarship, set up in tribute to the three-time Masters winner who died in 2006, allows a promising player to train at the World Snooker Academy.

"Paul was an inspiration to me," said Duffy, who was handed the award by Cliff Thorburn.

Thorburn also received a silver salver commemorating the first 147 maximum at The Crucible, which he made in 1983.
