KYREN WILSON warmed up for his Masters semi-final by playing darts alongside his fellow snooker stars. Ronnie O'Sullivan also had a go throwing some arrows at Ally Pally, despite withdrawing from the tournament before it began. Wilson takes on world number one Judd Trump tonight in the second semi-final.

But he had some time to relax and had a go at throwing darts ahead of the crunch clash. The world champion appeared to enjoy himself as he was seen smiling as he stood at the oche. He still had plenty of time to practice his snooker skills too as his match against Trump was scheduled to start at 7pm.

O'Sullivan, 49, took part as he was at the venue to provide analysis of the day's play for Eurosport. Wilson's fellow Masters semi-finalists Shaun Murphy and Mark Allen had a go at throwing some darts too. Murphy embarrassed himself at the oche only last month with a horror attempt at a nine-darter.

The 2005 snooker world champion was competing in the "Paddy Power Challenge" to determine which was harder out of a 147 or a nine darter. CASINO SPECIAL - BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS. SNOOKER's Class of '92 are fading away - with two English superstars ready to forge a new era.

Judd Trump has declared he's ready to battle reigning world champion Kyren Wilson for "the next 10 years" or more. Current world No 1 Trump admitted Wilson's meteoric rise over the last twelve months has "pushed him forward" as a player. The Class of '92 refers to the legendary trio of Ronnie O'Sullivan, John Higgins, and Mark Williamson.
