'Black magic' snooker fluke as 'voodoo' shot at Championship League goes viral

Graeme Dott was on the end of a shock snooker shot that's been described as 'black magic' at the Championship League.

The 44-year-old from Larkhall is currently competing at the event at the Morningside Arena - along with Wishaw's John Higgins.

His match with Scott Donaldson though has attracted plenty of attention after a competitor for 'fluke of the year' was brought against him.

Donaldson aimed to pot a red into the pocket in front of him, which proceeded to mount the table's railing, cannon off the side, miss a ball and into the pocket vertically behind him.

It's racked up over 135,000 views on Twitter at the time of writing, leaving people stunned. Dott has won one of his five games so far and lost four.

The Championship League commentary team said: "That's incredible. It goes along the rail of the table. I haven't seen anything like it. That's virtually voodoo. Never mind flukes, that's almost black magic."
