World Disability Billiards and Snooker (WDBS) announced this year’s Disability Snooker Day will take place online on Wednesday (April 22).

Disability Snooker Day is normally held alongside the annual World Snooker Championship at the Crucible Theatre in Sheffield.

The day aims to raise awareness of disability snooker and encourage people with disabilities to pick up a cue and take part in the sport. 

With this year's World Snooker Championship postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic, the day is set to be held online. 

Activities will be posted throughout the day on the WDBS website and social media platforms.

WDBS will look back at a number of key landmarks so far including coverage from previous Disability Snooker Days and the best footage from key tournaments.

This will include a full repeat of last year’s inaugural Disability Tour Championship, held at the Crucible, which saw four players showcase disability snooker.

The winner of the WDBS Vic Hartley Player of the Season Award for 2019-2020 is also set to be announced to succeed previous recipient Daniel Lee.

Disability snooker players, officials, coaches and fans are encouraged to get involved with Disability Snooker Day.

Official hashtags - "#DisabilitySnooker" and "#Cue4All" - have been created to help promote the event.
